Photos below appear in the order that the cracks developed.  Not every state is shown, hopefully enough is shown, to help you determine which state your coin is in.  As a reminder on long lasting obverse dies like 45a, the die state is a very useful way of narrowing down which reverse you have on an individual coin.  For example 45a-1 seems to only be paired with reverse I7, if your coin is 45a-2 or greater it must be another reverse.
