Kv do you Metal detect ?

reason I ask is the dime you found may have been found with a Detector & cleaned.
depending on cleaning source used.

some do brown, like a thin rust, especially if it was originally lost in wet ground

Clad coins will keep the tone they got from being in the ground awhile

If you don't metal detect, You may just see it as Copper color

here is one of my Dug dimes to compare.

as stated above, a photo will help

Sure looks like a dug dime to me. I know I've spent a few in my day.
