Cupro-nickel coins (including modern US clad coinage) tend to go like this when they are buried in the ground. I reckon someone found this dime with a metal detector and put it back into circulation.

Second I agree with @numisrob that your dime has most likely suffered from environmental damage to get that dark. However, you may find the following link of some interest, as it was a deeper dive into similar coloration on Jefferson nickels: http://goccf.com/t/288744 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
