Dime Missing Top Copper Nickel Layer

The coin on the right is a dime missing its top copper nickel layer showing the copper underneath, does anyone else have one also?

What does the Reverse side of the Dime look like?

 

Can you take a clearer picture please? It looks like a dime with toning from environmental damage but I can't tell by this one photo.

 

Here are examples of Clad coins missing either the Reverse or Obverse clad layer

 

Here are better pictures

 

Thanks. The spots on the dime in question lead me to a stronger belief that its environmental damage. I've never seen a clad coin missing the outer layer with spots. Every one I've seen is solid copper.

 

It's a little bit thinner than a normal dime and I had this coin for a few years.

 

What does it weigh?

 

Excellent Pictures.. I say yes to Missing Clad Layer on the Obverse!

 

The scale goes from 1.9 to 2.0 grams back and forth.

 

I like the dime on the left.

 

It looks promising as a missing clad layer. Usually, (not always) environmental damage affects both sides, but your reverse looks fine. The lower weight is a positive, but you should double check to make sure your scale is weighing accurately. Weigh a couple of clad dimes and they should come out around 2.27 gms (if your scale only has precision to 0.1 gm then 2.2-2.3 gms). If they are different, then your scale isn’t accurate.
