I'll say F-12, perhaps F-15.

w/coinfrog.

dont take this wrong but as a side note all of the silver coins you are posting have the same look to them. this is leading me to believe you may have got them from the same source. they all are dull and just look like all the original surfaces have been removed which would signify a cleaning. this doesn't mean they wouldnt grade straight but it is possible they would not. even low level silver would still have a certain sheen to them. just my opinion

You're right, all the dime that I posted I got from the same dealer. I agree that all of these coins are low level and have only silver value and possibly a very small old age premium). But this is silver, and for me it is an inexpensive way to replenish the collection with old US coins. In addition, thanks to such inexpensive coins, I became interested in collecting dime and quarter.
A little later I will post some more coins (25 cents and 50 cents). I just need to know their grade roughly for an estimate. I'm still bad at evaluating coins.

maybe F15.

again all these silvers have the same look. maybe its the lighting. if they all look like this in hand then these coins were cleaned. the surfaces do not look original

slerk. I hear you but if you are using the assessments here to assign a value you need to take into consideration if the coin was cleaned as it could affect the value anywhere from 30-70%

I can't see it beyond F-15. If they are cleaned, basically just silver value.

the last 2 photos are completely different than the original ones. this makes a difference. any future posts use whatever setup you used for these.

using those photos the coin the reverse looks VF20. obv VF15
might be strong enough overall to put the VF. based on the surfaces still looks like the original skin was removed but there is a chance it would grade straight.

I think you were right. All 3 coins (dimes) have been cleared
