Best pictures taken. Used a Micro lense on the camera. It appears to have double lettering in E pluribus  |

More pics. The green is just a reflection from a wall that was close to where I was taking the picture.  |

Here's the date and mint mark. Both appear to be doubled as well.  |

Here's the rim of the coin. Kind of hard to take a pic without touching it with my fingers.  |

Hopefully it's an authentic error and not someone who removed the nickel plating. I just can't seem to find anything close to this type of coin on the internet except for plating removed.  Would it be worth it to have it graded by PCGS? Superdave, I think that's your username, are you on here and do you have suggestions? Does anyone else have suggestions? |

Dimes are not plated so there is no plating that can be removed. You do indeed have a genuine partial clad error with pre-strike separation. The best specimens are uncirculated with fully red copper, I would value it at $20-30. For comparision, see my quarter with 3/4 of the clad missing and my dime missing the full reverse-   |

@ Biokemist6. What about the double mottoes? Does that increase the value?

As already stated, it is genuine. Note the obverse weakness along the obverse rim, opposite the layer absense. It does not always occur, but when the layer was torn off after being rolled it can happen. This is because there is less metal to fill the space between the dies. I would agree with biokemist's price range too, and ii dont think the doubling is anything that will add value.
