I found it in my change today. It's too shiny to be silver and doesn't sound like silver when I drop it. There's no copper showing at all.

Anything is possible but in this instance, unlikely. Many clad coins do not have the copper showing.

Ok, I tried taking pictures of the coin but I don't have a macro lens.
What I have is a 1975 dime no with mint mark. It has silver edges. It is as shiny as the 2011 dimes I have.
The separation on the bands is not quite as pronounced as the 2011 coins but will hold up to 2002-2005 circulation coins.
It is a deeper "strike" then any of the 37 dimes from 1968 - 2011 I have sitting next to it.
