Just looking for some opinions on this dime. What do you believe it would grade. Thank you!

The surface texture of the metal on the high points of design same as low areas of design, both sides.
That means no wear.
Tiny scratches and dings under patina a bit hard to see on these pics. Larger ones are obvious, especially on cheek.

MS-63.

I'l say AU-53. Clear wear on hair below the Liberty band. Dull luster. No way this is an MS coin.

I saw the same thing but couldn't decide if it was wear or just a little weak in that area because the rest of the coin looks pretty darn good . As far as the dull luster ,we've all seen uncirculated coins without luster .

I took some photos of the dime in hand, because the dime was more lustrous in person. I am worried about the reverse of the coin in the area surrounding the "one dime". It shows some small hairlines that look to me like the coin was cleaned. If you could provide some opinions on this it would be very helpful. Thank you very much!

Au55-58. Looks like tge coin is rubbed on the bust of liberty. Coin also shows indications of having been dipped at one point but looks market acceptable.
