yes, a clad dime of 1967 should weight 2.27g. if missing one clad layer, it will weigh around 1.9g, and if missing both and only the copper core it would weigh.around 1.5g/

Yes, I metal detect and that is classic environmental damage. The coppery color doesn't just clean off, they generally have to be run in a tumbler to do it.

This is not a black beauty. This is environmental staining. A BB is an annealing problem.

The color you have it is characteristic with acidic environment damages, like mentioned already. In my early reply I give the composition of the clad. This one react like this in time and acidic environment.

And a damaged coin is now a cull coin. Just face value now.
