Lots of additional PUPs that I believe are significant enough of note - mostly the die scratch along the hair and into the bonnet, scratch above the LIBERTY band into the wheat leaf, and the scratches in many of the LIBERTY letters. Undescribed or photographed cracks on the reverse that do not align with described varieties.
Will need to post in multiple parts to show what I see. Appreciate any and all thoughts!
First, sorry no FCPs. I can get low quality ones done with my phone but don't think they'd help.
Far date - note there is a bit of toning in the 0 that makes it appear there are die chips, but I don't think there's any doubling or additional 'stuff' on the date to note:

OOPS, I see the picture rotated on me - hope you can see the far date even if the picture is upside down!
Next, there is an extensive scratch that begins in the har behind the ear that extends well into the bonnet:

I can post other pictures that capture it from a different angle but hopefully you can see it well enough here.
Next, there are significant scratches like the one above the L of LIBERTY as well as undescribed/unphotographed die scratches in the letters (I, B, E and R especially):

Again, I can post other pictures that show these from different angles but hopefully you can see them clearly enough.
Next, parallel scratches between the cotton bolls that are distinctly different than other obverses I've seen:

And a small, but noticeable scratch in the ear:
