This is a proof. There are two varieties of 2011 S proof dimes, one made of silver and another made of copernickel. The silver vesion weighs 2.5 grams and has a mintage of 574,175. The clad version is 2.27 grams and has a mintage of 1,098,835. Finding either of them in circulation is like finding a needle in a haystack. Good find!

That's a very nice find, congrats!  Anytime an impaired proof appears in the wild, I think its calling is to be a pocket piece

 Someone had a proof set stolen and spent as just coins. Nice finding it.
