John1 I need more detail with respect to the Environmental Damage conclusion.
Every word and image on the coin is extremely clear. Even the bands can clearly be seen. What in the environment would cause this ?
Acid rain, Ammonia? What ?
Would't a chemical that erode the clad also do the same to the letters and numbers ? Investigating Clad Error I learnt that the copper color could cover various parts and other parts could be sliver in appearance.I need justification to your conclusion.

Best to post only one coin. It saves confusion.

I agree with environmental damage, laying on or in ground for awhile.Missing cladding is well demonstrated above by coop.

This coin was in pocket change. A family member came from USA and I asked her for her pocket change. What are the odds that in her pocket change that she came with that b a once buried coin is among it ?

Environmental damage can be from a few things. Bottom of a cup holder in a car,metal detector find,water fountain coin etc. 2.27 grams is the normal weight. With both clade layers missing there would be a noticeable difference in weight.not sure what that weight would be though. John1  |

I can speak for clad coins found on top of or in the ground in South East Texas, they do turn a color as what the reverse of your dime resembles.
If the coin returns to circulation the high points or devices of the coin will wear off the odd toning first, showing the clads original color again. Same if you paint a coin, the paint will wear off it high points first, yet remain in the lower field. Thanks, Doug.

Guys take another look at this. 1. Among Pocket Change 2.Weights 2.24 grams Normal dime weights 2.26 grams 3. I read that the weight sometime differ very little 4. The rim of the coin is clear, detailed and the color of copper exposed to the atmosphere . 5. Look at the pictures comparing the two coins.    |

Still Post Strike Damage and not an error. Heavy Environmental Damage is showing.
Errers and Varietys.

Sorry for the upside down pics. I am trying my best. The brown coin weights 2.24 grams The regular on weights 2.26 grams I read where the weight does not always differ by much The rim is in tack and appears the color of copper after being exposed to the atmosphere. Look at the comparison. I want to hear your opinion now. Is there anything that makes this coin look as it could be the real thing ?  Edited by ikuna

It looks like a circulated coin that's been exposed to the ground, had soda spilled on it or something similar. As mentioned by several others, it is nothing special and is worth exactly ten cents.
