I don't think that is normal wear from circulation. Maybe it was under a leg of a table or a chair  |

A clad dime definitely couldn't have worn down that much from circulation. Someone altered it. It is filed/ground down to the copper core.

Maybe it met up with some sand paper?

I think it was yelled at a lot by a larger denomination coin and faded into nothingness.
Sorry I'm not much help.....

It would be " Dryer Coin"...typical for a coin stuck in a commercial dryer for quite a few spins... |

This is coin made at the Mint in order to increase coin collecting. As they release such coins into circulation, people like you grab them and save them as if Gold. Then most will jump on the computer and enter a coin forum and as about their find. This will inspire many to go looking for more of these and increase coin collecting.
OR it's just worn.

carl, a bit on the sarcastic side today? ;) LOL
That is definitely a ground/filed coin. But it DOES look cool.

I thought Dryer Coins got thicker around the rims not smaller. I am with the grinder PMD vote. |

Yes. Definitely caused by grinding away the rim (and then some).
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
