Looked down while walking and picked up what I thought was a penny but it turned out to be a dime please take a look at these pictures I believe this dime has a clad issue. But I'm not sure if there are other issues as well and I would love you guys to take a look at it and let me know if there's any value to this coin. And also please let me know if I'm completely wrong and it's not a clad issue. Again thank you.

The free version has many post processing features including overlays. focus stacking, circular cropping and masking and much, much more
Environmental damage or staining. Even though they appear silver, the outer clad layers are made from a 75% copper 25% nickel alloy. When exposed various environmental conditions including soils, the surface can react and turn brown, resembling copper
