Strong G4 or G6. The obverse legend, date, and rim are quite strong and there is a decent amount of detail showing on the ear and leaves.

The reverse rim is strong and there is some detail showing in the wreath and corn/grains.

I'd call this borderline VG-8

Dimes usually are different than quarters and halves in that the letters are harder to see/get blurred with wear, even if with the same wear level you'd see a few on a quarter.

Plus, stronger reverse and a trace of the band.

I would say definitely a VG-8. The detail in some of the leaves in the reverse is strong in my opinion which pushes it up to VG8.
