This a better pic of the previous coin. I have replaced the pic. Same coin. This looks like 2017 Clad Error dime that I got today out of a group of coins from a family member. What's it worth ? What's your opinion Coin Community Friends ?   Edited by ikuna

It could be damaged possibly. Something doesn't seem right.
Errers and Varietys.

The date is very clear to the naked eye. The picture gives the impression of it being damaged.I would try to do a clearer picture and change this one. The weight is 2.24 grams .

If it were a true missing clad, the cleaning of the coin drops the value a lot. The cladding may have been reduced with acid. What does the edge look like? If the reeds are gone, that is probably the cause.  The color should be a lot darker. Edited by coop

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.
