Picked up this semi-key for my Barber dime set. Thoughts?

Well, since you've already bought it, what sort of feedback do you want?

VF details cleaned and obverse corrosion.
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 should've clarified, the darker areas on the obverse are dirt, not corrosion. I've examined it under magnification.

I can only grade from what I can see. The pictures are pretty clear under high magnification and I don't see any dirt on the obverse but see many crevices in the metal.

F15 but needs the glue or grease on the obverse removed with some acetone when you crack it out.

Tough call. I'll say F details (cleaned, ED).

F15 - I'll take a guess and say ANACS straight graded it.

I'll say ANACS gave it F12. There were two reverse types for 1904-S and yours is reverse 2 "thin ribbon", less common. Reverse 3 "thick ribbon" was introduced in 1901 but curiously SF still made the 1900 type through 1905. Just a little tidbit. Definitely not a cheap coin to pick up in decent condition.

I'm going with F12. Since OP says it's dirt, leads me to believe the holder doesn't say ED, so ANACS probably went with cleaned. Though it does look like there is ED.

The coin has been cleaned. Market acceptable F12.
