Yes it is N-9.
The leaf point below S2 is slightly past center, that is only true on four varieties 2, 5 and 9,14 (both of these use the same reverse die)
On N-2 the point of leaf below the F is below the center of the upright, on the other two dies it is below the left edge of the upright. On the OP coin it is below the left edge, so N-2 is out.
On N-14 the 2 has a club top and not a curl. The OP coin has a curl top so N-14 is out. Thet leave N-5 and N-8.
On N-5 the T in LIBERTY is right down touching the hair below it, on N-9 it is clearly separated from the hair.On the OP coin it is clearly separated so it is N-9.
