Thank you so much! I am a detectorist, NOT a numismatist! I like finding and then researching items, but only to a point. I realize coin collectors (who don't detect) have more time and frankly, interest, in researching coins. I just want to get this resolved to the satisfaction of everyone involved. Thank you again, for helping me do so!You can grade it yourself. Actually, if the guy is a collector, he can grade it, too. You both should grade it independently and come to a consensus on the grade. Use this website: http://www.barbercoins.org/Barber-Dimes-Grading.shtml. Personally, I grade it as VF-20, with environmental damage. Most dealers would price it at a grade lower due to the scratches, but that's something you and the homeowner need to agree on.
Here is a page with values: https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/1405/dimes/barber/1895-O/. You are looking at a value of $970 - $1388.
Nice find and good luck.
