My guess on the dime is that is worn down or sanded down. People do weird things to coins after they go back into circulation, they are smoothed out so it's hard to see the marks from the intentional damage. Don't take my words as final, wait some experts to chime in.

It's the beginning of a Dryer Coin. We see them all the time. |

 the coin looks to be a Dryer Coin. The reeding was there but it has been pressed down, expanding the edge. This can also be done with a copper pipe sizing tool. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Coins can work themselves into the inner drum mechanisms--not immediately accessible by laundromat customers.
