UNC Details with the scratch on reverse. Looks like it could be a woody.

I'm leaning towards an MS details (because of the scratch).
I went that way because the light wear on the obverse, around 9:00, looks more like a weak strike.

there are signs of wear so I am going with EF net Au details certainly not MS. Is there softening on the definition of the horizontal lines or is that just a picture artifact.?
Also I think I can see something under the 6 any chance of a close up. It could be a re punched date. Is there any rotation in the obv/rev alignment?

I'm not seeing the wear nohope does, I think it's MS61 details due to scratch on the reverse.

I think the strike is weak rather than any wear.

AU/UNC details. Rev scratch and Obv verdigris. Nice RPD by the way. Look to the right of the 6.
