Clad Dime. Odd coppery surface color. Error or is someone screwing with Roosevelt?

Picked this on up in change. My first thoughts were something happened in the wild. Since I posted the nickel I figured I would post this one also since I had the camera thingy out. What are your thoughts on this one?

    Buried for quite some time and then dug up.

    Yep...looks like a 'dug' dime.... often certain types of soil impart this discoloration to coins... I have found soils around coniferous trees usually have this result. Cheers, RickO
