Yes, I'm thinking some circulation damage--the cumulative result of dings and hits. I've see similar dime mint marks over may years on well-circulated coins.
Notice how the 85 took a big circulation hit and flattened them out? Same thing for the MM but just the left portion took a hit flattening it out and making the MM thinner.
