I don't think it's a woody.
It may be "roller lines" caused by dirty rollers when the cent stock was rolled to thickness. It could also be some other sort of staining. I don't think it's due to uneven toning because of how the lines are affected by the design.

I'm just curious: what is the year and mint of your coin?

Being an 1982 makes it roller lines. The 1970's-1980's are kinda common. John1  |

This is a picture posted by Mike Diamond of a Modern Woody on a clad coin. The cause of Woodys is not known for certain, but it's suspected to be roller marks (with other factors) particularly on the more recent dates.  The two coins differ in appearance, but yours fits the description as well. In my opinion, the one posted by Redifin was caused by imperfect metal. I say this because of the sporadic color difference. |

John1, the dime isn't missing the clad, it's overall color (as opposed to the sporadic I mentioned) has been changed. One of the "other factors" I spoke of was excessive heat, possibly from the annealing oven. JLC505, You asked if it's worth saving. Of course everyone makes that decision for themselves. I think all major Varieties and Errors are worth saving, when they are minor, they should have nice eye appeal, or at least be interesting. Condition of the coin is also a factor. Case in point, this one's neither a Variety or Error, it's PSD, many collectors wouldn't spend it though.  Edited by CoinMasters
