Given the modest amount of circulation, I really like the sharpness of this 1853-O arrows dime

Free free to throw out a grade. I bought this as a type coin mostly due to what seems to have been a particularly sharp strike.

Possible AU50 if there is luster (not seeing that in the photos though).
As usual, @mr1931S is probably correct.

Mr1931S has my exact same opinion as well. Trivial trace luster can still be seen but not enough to push into AU territory for me.

Possible cleaning

Obverse photo wouldn't, but reverse makes me suspect cleaning? Details look strong XF. Kind of coin I'd love in my 7070.

As it typical, @Cougar1978 is correct.
I would like to see it in hand before offering my thoughts as to grade. I do believe that this coin will create more enjoyment in a 7070 type album than in a slab.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Reminds me of the piece I had in my 7070 XF/better set. Nice strike, XF45 imo
