Yes and no. The way post-1964 dimes, half dollars and quarters are made is with copper-nickel. It is slightly possible that it was a defective blank and doesn't contain the copper layer, it is also possible that it could be struck on a blank intended for a penny. However, the most likely explanation is that someone stripped off the outer nickel coating leaving the copper core. Most likely it really isn't worth too much, but without seeing the coin in person, it isn't easy to say what it is.
