Was Wondering if this was a grease strike on the obverse side of a Roosevelt dime.

Not the best quality but the same coin underneath a microscope.

You can see finger prints where someone touched that are NW of the mintmark.

Definitely an over-polished die (probably to remove a die clash that occurred). Coop has some great pictures of this on many of the 1960s cents.

Note also the thinning of the date and the initials are also showing the polishing reduction on that area.
