I'm new to coins...well I've been collecting old coins for a few years because I think they're part of history. But I'm new to alot of info about coins. I received a dime back in some change, that has almost no silver on the front...its mostly copper. Just curious what kind of error that would be

 It could be a number of things, pictures of both sides of the coin are need to determine the actual reason. |

Images would show us more of what you have. There in no "silver" on the new dimes. Silver color, yes. Are you seeing copper on the coin? Welcome to the forum.

Interesting. A clearer picture of both sides in better lighting would be needed along with images of the rims. There are two possibilities: environmental damage or an annealing error. Environmental damage is far more likely, but better pictures would be needed to say with confidence.

Interesting indeed. The surfaces and the color break are much cleaner than I'd expect from an environmentally damaged coin. Missing cladding is unlikely, but not entirely off the table since the planchet could still be the correct thickness if the clad layer was missing before the strip was rolled.
Can you take sharper pictures of both sides and the edge? The weight would also be helpful if you have access to an accurate scale.

Yes, In focus photos of obverse, reverse, and rim plus weight will help determine what this is.
Coop, you should edit the last graphic of the 2017 P 10c which still has a "Missing Clad" title.
