I haven't learn the art of grading and would like some help. What would you grade this 64 Dime?

Maybe I'm too relaxed (it's Friday, after all) but this looks like a mint state dime to me. There is decent luster on both sides. I do see a slight darkening of silver color along Roosevelt's jaw line, but luster over the portrait seems basically intact. I see a fair amount of tiny scratches on the obverse and there are some very small nicks on the torch.

If there is enough friction to knock it out of mint state territory, I can't see it grading any lower than AU-58. Based on these photos I'd call it MS-63.

I'd go AU-53. It's the flattened torch that stands out with the most wear. The fields show clear signs of circulation also.
