Not seeing anything on this one. Maybe a side by side with another coin would highlight the difference, but this just looks like an ordinary dime to me.

I see the die crack you spoke of, but this is one of those coins where, what do you do with it now? If you kept every small die crack you came across, you'd go broke. Not major enough to command much of a premium. My suggestion? Give it to a young collector with hopes of fostering a lifelong interest in numismatics. A local coin shop might know of a few. Just an idea.

I do not think it is an annealing error from the mint. John1

Thanks gang, I know this is a difficult type of error to determine from mediocre photos. Here's a couple more photos, again there is a reddish tone at the right angle. I wish "TrueView" would include rim photos of these annealing errors to compare.

Just a circulated coin that may have been out in the elements for a time. Not a plus for the coin. Spender.

This is a certified 2000 D 25c Improperly Annealed Planchet.  This is a comparison between that 25c and the 10c in question. Does anybody see a similarity in the red & black marbling here?

Looks like environmental toning to me. The fact that the rim is affected by the same toning is a pretty good sign that it's not an annealing error.

SamCoin, I wish we could see rim photos of these certified annealing errors. There are so many different shades and colors of these errors that the rim can't possibly have the same qualities for all the different severities.

@CoinHI trust me, I know what black magic attributing these things feels like. My general approach is that if the coin doesn't have any of its original mint luster left, then it's just too far gone for me to tell and I come down in favor of environmental damage. I've only found one that I'm confident is an annealing error, and it was on a mint state coin with full luster. Edit: link if you're interested. As you can see, no one else was convinced, but I took it elsewhere and ultimately built up enough info that I feel confident in spite of the response from the forum. http://goccf.com/t/397477

This it is not annealing error. the Nickel coins in the sulfureted environment will take this color. In previous post I show the wrights color of annealing with temperature. When annealing is involved in the color of nickel through black; we has to have blue traits.
