Sure looks like it may be a proof? Just my 1st thoughts. I have an 1871 1/2 dime PF 58 that has a very similar look. Thought I would throw it out there.

AU details due to cleaning with PL surfaces. Nice coin no matter what it grades!

I think you have a circulated proof.

Thank you for feedback ppl, really interesting
well not mine yet so I cant bring better pics. I thought the fields looked a little pl, but so much going on in the fields
looking at prices these seem to be very cheap if mintage is 960, ngc puts a straight grade ms6 at 2000 dollars. And this would probably detail

as soon as I saw it, my first thought was impaired proof. if you can take a shot at the coins edge it could help. in any case, even it was a proof, the coin was cleaned. the entire left side of the reverse has deep scratches crossing the devices.

i dont own one for comparison and cannot find any photos of the edge for a proof.
i wasnt sure why you showed two edges in that photo. are these both the original coin?
after looking at your coin again and comparing the rims of both business and proof strikes, I'm leaning proof due to the width of the rim. I was hoping someone who did or had more knowledge of these would chime in. hang in there, someone may chime in and confirm it.

Leaning towards imparied proof, I think I see some diemarks (shield) consistent with the P1 proof. These sell very seldom but dont seem to be sought after Edited by Moniker

AU details, harshly cleaned. I don't think this is a proof. It is not sharply struck like a proof would be. I'm not an expert in these but proofs I have seen have a hammered obverse. You'd see her hair and drapery would be more strongly defined even as an impaired proof.
