Hi All, Thanks for your help. Here are the pictures of the front and back. They aren't as perfect as I remembered it to be by far. Sorry for the delay. Would this still be acid damage? It still appears to be odd to me though. Thanks!
Put down the crack pipe and find some fresh air. Are not Kanuck coins 100% nickel now, which is why the stick to magnets, how do they manage?

Sounds like you've had one too many 'shrooms, yourself. 'Kanuck' coins? Rather offensive, if you ask me. 'Crack pipe'? Again, I am offended. Looks like a US Roosevelt dime to me. PS. My explanation of composition was corrected in an earlier post. PSS. No longer "Hardly noticeable", now IGNORED.
They stopped making Canadian coins from pure nickel back in 1981. Today they are made of nickel plated steel, which is why they still stick to magnets.
I dunno for certain my self, but according to http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=10-cents-2000&years=10-cents-1953-2013 "Characteristics - 10 cents 2000 Alloy : 100% nickel Weight : 2.07 grams Diameter : 18.03 mm, thickness: 1.25 mm Engraver : Obverse: Dora de Pédery-Hunt, Ago Aarand, Reverse: Emanuel Hahn Designer : Obverse: Dora de Pédery-Hunt, Ago Aarand, Reverse: Emanuel Hahn Edge : Reeded Magnetism: Magnetic" Make up your own stuff at home
