The deeper parts of the die, such as Jefferson's profile, struck the coin, so it was a full strike. The edge has been worn or rubbed away somehow.

Could it have been a struck blank instead of an actual planchet?

I've seen and own lots of dimes like such. Always wondered myself if it really was PMD.

To me it appears to be sanded down. Note that the affected areas are the raised areas. The rim, the bust, the building. Where the metal tapers into the design, that is still there. Just the highest spots are missing. If it were a sanding issue, the coin should be lighter. If it is a coin struck on a blank, then the coin would be normal weight. So know this weight would be the next step.

Iwannado, do you have a scale? Can you weigh it and post the results?

Newly struck nickles are 5 Grams so it's a little light, but probably from the wear/sanding.

Wear doesn't remove that much weight, the rims have been sanded down.

Another guess, it could have been in a machine. The how it happened is usually a guess. What it is though, is PSD.
