Help me and some friends settle a grading dispute.
It is going to end up at our hosts. We are just have a good debate over a beer and cigar on this one....
What say you good or very good?

G to me. I would expect to see clearly at least 3 letters of Liberty for a VG.
Minimum of G6....shot at VG depending on the mood they are in. The surfaces are not ideal...so that might play into the grade. You might try a little acetone on a swab and see if some of that crud around the date will lift off.
Really I see it as a G6 as well.
As above.
G-6 also.

G-6 here too.

G 6 here.
More beer and it will be fine.
A lot of the early branch Mint coins were very weak in Liberty. Compare all the other details of the coin...even a F and you will see this coin has a very good shot at VG minus the letters of Liberty!
PS I can't recall if I've seen a 95-O in a G4 holder that had full rims...much less BOLD FULLY DENTILTED RIMS, if I saw it I would buy it and crack it!

I’d say G-6.

G6
Good...need to see at least some of Liberty for a VG
Good or close to VG seems not so important with that old slice going on from behind the ear, along the jaw to chin, then into the field. Considering everything....a Good.
G6

You folks are threating these poor little dimes like quarters and halves. Liberty on dimes are much more prone to striking weakness....especially in the earlier years!
Here's 1 I sold last year in our hosts holder. GTG
Vg10?
HAPPY COLLECTING
OP's coin is a solid G6, love to see circulated key dates with rims that strong. Wouldn't be surprised to see it sell for a premium over the grade.

Generally, I don't even look for letters in LIBERTY on Barber dimes below FINE 12. The overall coin details will tell the story. Brown & Dunn, early ANA grading guide, etc. all messed up grading forever when they "required" full rims on any "Good" condition coin....and the 3 (or all) letters in LIBERTY....2/3 horn on Buffalo for VF, etc. That same mentality showed up in higher grade coins as well. When looking to buy my first 1796/97 half dollar in 1988 (offered to me as a Good) I passed because it didn't have a full rim per the "paper" grading guides I had at that time. Graded it AG+. The coin was totally original and problem free. The person who bought it after I passed (a dealer) submitted it for grading and got either a G6 or VG8....and a 30% profit. Lesson Learned. Never had a chance to buy one again.
