Toned, probably. Could also be gold plated. I've dumped dozens of gold plated coins in the coinstar.

If it weighs the same as the regular dime it is NOT a missing clad layer nor a wrong planchet.

You could spend it. It has no numismatic premium.

Welcome, trust his advice.
Preserve the coins that you like until you know more.
Read these forums for a month, look up the terminology in glossaries.
Practice the photography.
Most coins have damage, weaknesses. The pretty coins are the hard ones to find.
Good luck.
I like the toned dime.

Welcome
Good first question and pretty dang good pictures, that’s half the battle 😁
@ Fraz is making a good point and it’s amazing how much free knowledge is contained on the forum.
For now I would suggest that you get a Redbook $15-20. Best money you’ll spend for a great resource and I really hope you look over eBay and learn to operate the search button and look up sold prices. Buying takes awhile but eBay can be a good source of coins. It’s definitely “caveat Emptor “ territory so use caution. Again welcome 😀

@lcourtney123... Welcome aboard. Your dime has acquired tarnish, likely due to an unfriendly environment (storage, lost on the ground etc.). No numismatic premium. I support the recommendation to get the Redbook... best investment a new coin collector - or anyone interested in coins - can make. Cheers, RickO

Remember the first rule in coin collecting: Never clean, polish or mess with a coin. Leave as is.
