Need help with determining near or far, die crack might be throwing me off. Any 1 have 1 for comparison? Should I use a sf to compare?

Far Leaf IMO, looking at the 9
too far away from the denticle
as well as the leaf. NSF
Nice looking coin.

The position of the "9" in the date to the denticles indicates "far".
I suspect the die crack connecting the ML to the rim gives a "near" impression?

Good idea to repost there. That's where the graders hang out.
