But a dark color is usually Environmental Damage. Dimes have a clad layer that is affected due to exposure to dirt, soil, sand, weather. I metal detect and have found thousands of darker color clad coinsvand even nickels.
Tje missing letter E is usually due to a Die that had some debris the filled the incused E so it did not form well on the coin Planchet when it was struck. This is referred to as a Struck Through Grease and could happen in any year.

 

Here are some examples of Clad coins and the darker color because of Environmental Damage. One is a silver Dime -

 

I found A 1991 Philadelphia mint Dime with the same misprint. Is it worth money i have no idea.

 

Hello.. Welcome to CoinTalk
First of all you need to start a new separate thread with pictures... Coins are not printed so they can't be misprinted.

The coin in this original thread is damaged with no premium.
