Just coin hunting cause I can't sleep and I come across a few of the '68 Dimes. One looks different and I know it's probably a shot in the dark but I have to ask if anybody could tell if maybe any of them or worth looking into further.

@mtravao3, I agree that the bottom dime does look different (more wear, scratches, and perhaps a little corrosion), but I agree with @CT that you can safely spend it.

Bottom one looks like it was "cleaned up" at one time with an eraser.

It was probably scrubbed with something abrasive. I have had coinstar machines reject coins with gunk on them; I just spend them when I check out, but maybe somebody had something to scrub it with handy?
