NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17925 Posts	Posted 12/12/2014 5:50 pm Welcome to the Forum, mcloven! I think you have a perfectly normal dime that has been buried in the ground for a few years and recovered, possibly with a metal detector. This sort of environmental damage is very common on buried cupro-nickel and clad coins. A rub with a wire brush or sandpaper (please don't do that on a coin of numismatic interest!) would probably bring back the 'silver' colour!
