I have no idea if the coin would grade with our hosts, as I have no experience with TPG's and have never submitted any coins for grading. However, I do have some experience with half dimes, and I would grade your coin a nice VF, perhaps a little better than VF-20, maybe VF-25. It has the appearance of originality, and except for the aforementioned minor rim ding, it looks quite nice. I do think that a light bushing with a camel hair brush might remove some of the debris seen on the surface. As for eye appeal, the natural patina is attractive.
They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin

Nice coin!
I assume that they are graded the same way?
