Tough one. I think it would just pull G-4.
I still see some detail in the head and the full date is present
On the reverse I still see some rim and very little of the rim merging with the letters.

Thaat is a close one, but I think it would pull through with G-4 as well.

 Hmm ,the lone wolf again. AG-3. Just a tad too much wear IMHO.

I agree with AG-3. It's "high end" perhaps for that grade but I'd need to see mostly complete rims to call it Good.

Close call: I seem to remember the term "rim wearing into letters" or something like that. So I look at the top of the letters. The tops of the letters show even though the rim is flat. (If this were a 1916-D dime it would most often pull a G-4.) The reverse of Barber halves is most often weaker than the obverse. A bare minimum Good.
