It's difficult to estimate the value of an error coin without an in-person examination. A dime that appears to be fully copper could have multiple causes:

  • It could be a so-called lamination error. In the case of a clad coin, a lamination error most often happens when part of the cupronickel cladding fails to bond to the pure copper core either before or after striking. Roosevelt dime lamination errors generally sell for about $6 to $8.
  • The coin could be oxidized or otherwise discolored due to exposure to chemicals, heat, etc. In this case it's simply a damaged dime worth face value.
  • It could have been plated as part of a school chemistry experiment. Again, it would be simply a damaged coin.

What is the value of a 2000 copper dime d?

If the coin is the same thickness as a normal dime, it's not copper. It's been plated or exposed to heat/chemicals that changed its color. In this case it's just a damaged dime. However, if the coin is thinner than a normal dime, it could be a lamination error. That happens when the outer cupronickel layer comes "unstuck", like taking the cookie part off an Oreo. The copper core then becomes visible. In this case it could retail for $5-6.
