Brighter photos would show the fields better, but even so, this is a beauty. Super strike both obverse and reverse.
Strong solid 65.

Wow. That is a great looking one dime. Well struck with strong eye appeal it is hard to read the luster but assuming it is there then MS64 sounds good.

i'd say au58 based on thev broken luster in the fields and around the devices. very attractive.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I can't get a feel for the luster at all in these pics. Nice coin, certainly no less than AU-58.

Nice patina, with underlying luster.
In this case, need much brighter lighting to properly examine it for wear; the patina is obscuring any (minimal) wear that may be there.
With these pictures a TPGrader would have a great advantage over us, especially when the TPGrader has the advantage of not having to see through the plastic.
I will guess AU55 so far, but it could grade into the MS62 - MS65 range. Old mild scuff in the right hand obverse field.
