What you have is either : 1) A normal dime that has been altered by extreme heat, causing the copper core to alloy with the copper/nickel clad layer, giving it a bronze color -- no added value. 2) A normal dime that has been plated -- no added value. 3) A dime stamped on an unfinished planchet -- that is, one that was cut from a part of the copper strip that did not get its outer copper/nickel coating -- worth a couple dollars. 4) A dime struck on a foreign planchet -- the U.S. has struck coins for other countries from time to time over the years, and if you have one of these, it could be worth hundreds of dollars. Usually, however, these will be a slightly different size & weight than a normal dime, and may not have a reeded edge. A normal dime should weigh 2.27 grams and have a diameter of 17.9 mm.
