Probably 10 cents. It's not real. What you have is either:
> plated as part of a piece of jewelry or as a souvenir
> discolored due to exposure to heat or some chemical
If it's actually gold plated, the plating is probably so thin the labor to separate it would cost more than the value of the gold recovered.
If you think about it for, oh, a second or two, even the most boneheaded government bureaucrat wouldn't authorize the minting of a coin worth maybe 100 bucks and put it in circulation for ten cents.... Or if they made it with just 10 cents worth of gold it would be so tiny you'd need tweezers to pick it up!
The only good news would be if it was from 1964 or earlier. The underlying silver would be worth around $4 in that case.
This did not come from the mint like that. It has to be gold plated. No collector value.
The U.S. has never struck a gold dime. A coin that size made of gold would be worth many times more than 10 cents. Your coin is an ordinary silver dime that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. As such it's only worth its melt value, about $2 as of early 2011.
The value of a US dime marked "ten centavos" is zero, since it is a fake. A real US dime is marked "one dime," not "ten centavos."
U.S. dimes have never been made of gold, nor were there any gold coins minted in the 1960s. What you have is a gold-plated dime, not worth anything to collectors above face value.
Ten cents. It's an ordinary dime that was plated. The last circulating gold coins were made in 1933. The lowest denomination US gold coin was the minuscule $1 piece minted from 1849 to 1889. These coins were even smaller than dimes and were worth 10 times as much. A modern dime wouldn't have ever been struck in gold.

Some coins do tone to a gold color or it may have been plated but it's not gold. So just spend it.

a 1917 us dime is called a mercury dime. its not that rare so it is worth about a dollar
The US mint did not make this coin, it was done outside of the mint an is gold plated or copper plate, but it still has value for the silver under the plating. It's worth about a dollar.
A 1988 dime is worth 10 cents.
Face value only.
