It came from this uncirculated old bank roll. All those scratches are from the die.  Edited by Seeker_101

The fact that it came from that bankroll does not guarantee that it is uncirculated/mint condition.
It could have been added/re-rolled at any time during the past 60+ years.

Well it was purchased as uncirculated from an established bullion dealer and all dimes are the same date. Those scratches also seem to be raised but you won't see that in the picture. But then I bought a $1 roll of silver War Nickels from them with these dimes and not 1 nickel was a War Nickel. Edited by Seeker_101

There's also the lack of those scratches on the design elements and rim.

 That would seem way misaligned from a typical clash. Not impossible, of course. Whatever it is, the anomaly does have that bumpy oak leaf profile. |

I agree Brand. Yet at the same time it doesn't appear to match up to the profile of any of the oak leaves.

Just die-polishing lines?  |

Is the metal actually raised or sunken? If yes, in which direction?
If it's flat, then staining seems more likely. The position along the neck seems like a location for PIDT, but that isn't showing in front of the face or on the reverse.

It appears slightly raised but I wouldn't rule out an optical illusion because it seems very very slight and that dark contrast can be misleading. Referring to the scratches: The scratches in the field of the date in this picture is the same as the scratches all over the fields. See how they are raised? Don't get me wrong - they are business strike and have numerous dings and hits.  |

As already stated, just heavy die scratches, the coin has not been cleaned. With where the extreme abrasions appear, all around the head, and what looks like clash remnants, this die was likely to have had a strong clash at one point. ADDED: Silver is horribly easy to scratch but if a coin is in AU/BU condition and has extreme die scratches, it will look as if it has been cleaned. Here is another nice example of this.
