Without seeing the coin it's not possible to say why it would appear to be copper. It could have been dipped in acid, plated with copper as a school chemistry experiment, or be what's called a "lamination error" in which the outer copper-nickel layers of a normal dime separated from the copper core.
Your best bet would be to have it examined in person by a dealer or appraiser who could test its weight and look at it under a magnifier.

What is the value of a 2005 silver US dime?
Dimes minted for circulation haven't contained any silver since 1964. All later dimes are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 10 cents each. If your dime has the familiar copper band on its edge you have an ordinary dime. The only silver dimes minted since that time are "Prestige Proof" coins that are specially struck for sale to collectors. If your dime doesn't have the copper band but does have an "S" mint mark and is heavier than an ordinary 2005 dime, you could have a proof dime that was removed from its package. Unfortunately if it has any wear on it, its value is reduced to the melt value of about 0.07 times the price of 1 oz of silver.
