It sounds like you have what's called a lamination error. That can happen in a couple of ways, but is most likely caused when a coin blank is punched from the end of a roll of metal stock where part of the cladding was missing. That means one (or sometimes both) sides of the inner copper core are visible.
Lamination errors can bring several dollars from a collector, depending on the coin's quality.
Also remember that the outer cladding is copper-nickel, not silver. Silver hasn't been used in circulating dimes since 1964.
50¢ Please look at the back of the coin. It's a HALF dollar. It's also made of copper-nickel, not silver.
This coin is worth only 1 cent. what you see is corrosoin to the outer copper. The metal is zinc.
I have a 1935e circulated silver certificate with a double die error on the back of it what value does it have.
In 1900 that would be a Liberty Nickel with the "V" on the back. In is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. There is no silver in it. Value depends on how much wear there is on it and starts at about a dollar or so if you can read all the words on it and increases with less wear.

It's not silver, it's nickel and copper. Value depends on condition, but in circulated condition it's worth $12-20.

50 cents. It's not silver and it's not a dollar. Please turn the coin over and check the denomination on the back; you'll find it's a HALF dollar. And the copper edge indicates that it's made of copper-nickel, not silver, like all circulating half dollars since 1971

Bicentennial halves were struck in copper-nickel for circulation, and 40% silver for collectors. The US never made them in platinum.

Please turn the coin over and check the denomination on the back. You'll find that it's a HALF dollar. Assuming it's from circulation, it's not silver. It's made of copper-nickel like dimes and quarters, and is only worth face value.

What you have is a silver bullion coin. It may have some value to those who collect such things but basically its value is just the silver it may contain. As of April 24, 2010 that value is $18.28 USD.
