I have been collecting for many years,i have found coins that had been in circulation for along time and the nickel would be missing in spots to to wear or some type of damage but with this dime I had found it within a couple months of circulation and the missing nickel is different.

After going around to some other sites I think I found out what it is from what I read it could be a cladding flaw where the clad is peeled off.

What does the edge look like? If you can see the cladding on the edge near the color change, then it might be a stain. So I would like to see that edge area? If there was missing cladding on your coin, there should be a layer that would step down. Also the color would be dard red.  Edited by coop

Looks like it might be surface staining or maybe a science class experiment where the student attempted to plate the dime. I agree with Coop; you'd be able to see a step if it were a partial plating split and contrasting.

What I read said peeled splitting would be like your picture peeled is thinner but I get a couple more pics and thanks for the help

I have seen plated this doesn't appear to be plated,on the edge some places are copper and some are nickel that dark place on the edge of the nickel is all nickel and on the front they are spots where the copper is bleeding through the nickel

I don't have the best imaging it is going to be hard for you to see what I see,i have seen coins in circulation for along time that are missing nickel color but the edge always looks like it is suppose to and I have seen plated coins I know this isn't plated I am trying to figure out what could have caused it the edge looking like it does is what has me stumped.

I thought that dark spot was all nickel its not its all copper it has a dirty toned look just about all of the edge is almost full copper color even on the part of the coin that is nickel color the edge is still all copper color,you look at the edge of a dime there is like a line separating nickel and copper you still have that line except it is copper and copper almost all around

Does there appear to be silver showing through the copper like the images are showing. If so, then it is coated/plated with something after the strike. PSD |

The second image of the quarter showing the reverse on the edge of that quarter there is some nickel left that is on the copper side that is the same type of look plus I weighed 10 dimes they all weighed 2.2 when I weighed this one it weighed 2.1 if anything was added in my way of thinking it would weigh more not less that is just another thing that has me stumped

I saw a penny on heritage auction site awhile back the date was a 1945 or 46 it was steel looking it turned out that the planchet was not bonded correctly with the tin and I hope I am explaining it correctly it was a while back and I don't remember word for word the way it was explained
