  The coin appears to have been altered either by repeated taps with a spoon or hammer or possibly spinning in a dryer.

  Yeah, the thickness of the coin at the rim certainly seems like the coin was rolled excessively.

  In order for that dime to be a Mint error, and minted without edge reeding, it would have to have been struck outside of a collar, or 'broadstruck'. It is the collar that imparts the edge reeding. If it were broadstruck, it would be larger in diameter than a normal dime. The others are right - your coin appears to have been modified outside of the Mint. It looks like the edge was repeatedly struck, or 'spooned', giving it that high rim.
