Counterfeit Seated Dime Value?

[xcopperstax]

Hello folks. I recently found this coin that I believe is a counterfeit due to the fact that is has an inner corroded layer with an outer layer that looks like silver (it may be antimony I have no idea). I am well aware of the Seated Liberty Dime collectors site that talks about the counterfeits. Does anybody have a ballpark idea of what this coin might be worth?

The first and second photo are the coin next to two real ones. zoom in on it. The third photo is what it looked like out of the ground.

I'm not looking to sell it I'm just curious as I know sometimes these things can be more valuable than the authentic regular coin. Thank you!

There's really no "book value" for a counterfeit coin even though some people collect them. It's pretty much whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

I don't know anything about counterfeit coins, but I have seen some coins that went through a fire that looked similar to yours. The weren't corroded on the inside though...interesting. Did it ring up like a regular dime? Nice find BTW.

I took it to my metal detecting club and showed it to one of the experts. It's definitely a counterfeit. My first thought was fire too but its definitely a different metal inside suggesting it's not an alloy.

Sorry coinhunter az. I forgot to mention that it rang up like a dime or penny 80/81
