I wonder what happened to these?

2 Barber dimes I wonder how they got in this condition??

Both post mint damage.
the first from a coin counting machine.

 

did they have coin counting machines like that back when barber dimes were in circulation?

 

Possibly, but as recently as a few years ago (about 1998-- pre-states quarters period) I used to buy them as junk silver.
So, they were still being counted that way.
