Why and makes this dime look that color. It is like that on the reverse side too?

it is simply something on the coins surface. the coin is not an error and only worth ten cents. you can see the color waring away on the high points.

I pick nickels, dimes and quarters like this off the ground every year after the snow thaws. I have a small bag full of them that I started collecting about two years ago. Since most are found next to drive ways, etc. I think that not only the ground contributes to the discoloration but salt laced with chemicals.

I agree with all, James Venson. The keeper for your future reference when pondering composition was well stated by thedollarman.
