Missing clad layer dime?

I am not a collector of error coins but received this dime in change and wondered if it is in fact a missing clad layer 1981 d Roosevelt dime.

Nope. I think that @paddyman98 has a few of these (Metal detected find).

 

Looks like a chemical or acid got to that dime almost rustic and see what looks like pliers have got a hold on it just my thought

 

@Jeffjay …what does it weigh? A Roosevelt dime from 1981 weighs 2.27 grams intact. If it is missing a clad layer the weight would be reduced nearly one-third to 1.51 grams.

It honestly looks like environmentally damaged…imo…Spark

 

Environmental damage unfortunately. Poor dime spent some time in substances that didn’t play nice with it.

 

Not your coin.
Missing clad layer usually involves one side of a clad coin.

Here are examples from my collection



Yours is environmental exposure damage

Here are examples from my metal detecting finds that were exposed to the elements.
