I disagree that the front of this dime is post-mint damage. I have one with the same front -- the face is very smooth, you can see where the ear is, and there is a blister in the middle. This blister and smoothness is the same as the one shown by Ported Pennies. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the head of mine is very well polished, shiny, and smooth, but the outline of the head is very sharply defined. There are a few scuff marks (from being in circulation) but there do not seem to be an scratches from polishing. If this dime was somehow worn or sanded down, it was done without impacting anything but the face, and a blister was left in the middle.
The back of my dime looks pretty normal.
