Here you go

 

OK but with this one, its obvious that it isn't toning. Your dime is the size of a dime, this one is the size of the nickel, understand? It should look semi distorted from what I understand.

 

Found this. I guess it can happen.

 

I guess i stand corrected

 

I know I just let him know here can be small over large planchet, I will weight it first

 

This nice coin

 

That would have to have been struck out of collar. I can't tell from the picture, but I'm sure that coin has no reeds.

OP, does your coin have reeding?

 

Yes it my coin has no reeds , here's more pictures, maybe you think it plate , someone also scratch surface to check if it was plate but the scratch also showing copper color, and the drop sound are same like copper penny not like silver dime. It same size with dime smaller than penny

 

The 1998-P dime struck on "cent stock" has been incorrectly described by PCGS. Several such dimes are known and they were all struck on cut-down (re-sized) cent planchets. We know this because the zinc core is exposed on the edge. Shaving off the planchets' edge was presumably an intentional act.

 

While your latest pics are not great, they show more than the earlier ones. I'm concerned that the copper dime, while larger in diameter than the silver dime, has a rim that is more narrow than the silver dime. I would think the rim would be wider on the copper. The lettering on the obverse is suspicious to me also. It could be a fake.

 

If the diameter of the copper Barber dime is greater than the diameter of the normal silver dime, then the coin is almost certainly a counterfeit. The only other possibility -- and it's remote -- is that this is a genuine off-metal strike that was altered outside the Mint. Proportional expansion of the design on both faces is impossible in a genuine error.

 

Contemporary counterfeit barber dimes are known in copper and are highly collectible.

 

diameter Are perfectly same like silver dime I have few pictures on top silver dime and silver dime on top of it also use penny .

 

Zombucks has a copper Barber!

 

Read again Mike Diamond's post (#34) quoted below.

Despite what you want me to believe, your pics show that the copper dime has a larger diameter than the silver dime.

Now, if you are so sure that you have the Holy Grail, stop trying to convince us (because you can't). Send it to Heritage Auctions. Let us know how you make out with it.

 

Just thinking about that medallic alignment.. could also be evidence of it being a counterfeit

 

Everyone missed that. Good call!
