There are several things that could of happened
.#1 the coin was plated outside the mint
#2 The clad layer peeled off due to air or improper alloy mix .
This is a collectible error.!!!!!!!
#3 The coin remained in the annealing drum too long and copper dust adhered to the coin -Also collectible !!!!
Go to a local COIN CLUB for an honest and unbiased opinion.
A dealer will low-ball the value just to buy it .

I could be either circumstance. Dimes are actually copper coins with a thin layer of silver over the top, so it may be the result of a problem with the machines. Someone could have had a layer of copper put over it too.
I would suggest that you take it to a coin dealer and have them check it out.

Send a photo or a scan of it to answerman2@aol.com, That is the address for Allen Herbert that writes a column for Numismatic news. Your best bet is a coin dealer, most dealers are honest folk. If he has a store and has been in business for a while, he has to be honest or he would not last. A lot of people here, seem to really dislike dealers, well like any company, they have overhead and some have employees to pay, so they need that 40% profit or so. True I am not crazy about some of them, but I know to try more than one. Another pro out there is Ken Potter a well know error coin expert, again you need to send a scan or photo for anyone to help you. Contact Ken at ken@koinpro.com

It looks like you may have a dime blank. You should take it to a coin shop, and have them check it out. They will typically tell you all about it for free. It would be worth the trip!

The silver ''cladding'' has been removed, probably chemically.
