Do you have the coin in hand for new pictures? The obverse picture is of a Seated quarter.

Um, no it isn't. The stars are plainly too close for a Quarter.

It's poorly-struck as expected for the issue but the obverse still doesn't quite let me reach XF even factoring the lesser expectation for something as small as a Dime. The reverse is XF all day. I have to call it VF35 all the same.

Oops my bad , I was looking at the folds in the dress near the shield which looks like the quarter.

VF-30 maybe a tad better but just shy of XF in my opinion.

VF30 or maybe 35. The surfaces would need to be examined in-hand. They appear a bit "dry" but that could be the bright images.

I'm at VF35.

Slightly too much wear to call it XF40.

Strong VF35. Reverse should make 40. Obverse has me a little baffled as the stars and head have good detail. I would expect to see these areas to show signs of a weak strike. What am I missing here?

VF-35 with extremely nice eye appeal. I could see paying XF money since it is a quality coin.

Someone mentioned about the weak strike but that shield would keep me out of the XF range. I would call it VF++, or VF-35 would be fine.

VF30 IMO

looks like reverse G and S1 seems pretty close to the rock making it Obverse 5 (Date alignment seems to fit as well), so F-109 is the variety. This is at a glance with these photos. If you've the time or inclination to do so, you could verify with the coin in hand.

Nice dime!
