Real and heavily corroded by acid.

That’s a nickel. However, it seems unlikely to be struck on a dime planchet because it isn’t silver in color, it’s copper. I’m not sure how it could have corroded such that the planchet would be noticeably thinner but maintain that much detail though.

a dime is 2.268 grams

is it anything close?

Much less for sure

Yeah, it's definitely been laying in some kind of acidic solution.

Nitric acid will do that.
