bigger close up?
the right side looks like a straighter line (on the inside of the curves) than the double curve of the left side, almost looks like an 8 over a 6

hi nuemistman....  I think something rolled over the 8 to flatten it.  |

This was done by a coin counting machine. If you look at your pocket change you will frequently see coins with concentric scratches near the rim. The coins get scratched in this way in coin counters, and that appears is what happened to your dime, except the part of the machine that causes the scratch was not bearing down on the coin hard enough to damage the surface, only the raised areas of the coin above the surface.

Look closer at the first pix. The crimper caught the right side of the 8 and pushed it to the left, with part of it untouched.
