Agreed, just some tone or stained.  You can verify this for yourself by weighing it on an accurate to two decimal places scale.  A missing clad layer will be much lighter than normal.

Your dime has been exposed to some negative environmental conditions and is simply stained. Coins missing the clad layer do not have the look that your coin has as I can still see the original clad layer in the areas not damaged by the environment. Please refer to the following link from error-ref.com to view the look of coins missing a clad layer.

Coins in modern production may have characteristics that vary from normal but 99.99% of the time are associated with poor quality control in mass production with numbers produced in the hundreds of millions to billions. The chances of finding any modern error coin after the year 2000 are infinitely small. Looking up these things on the internet seem to have led you down the wrong path. Please also read the following article by renown numismatist Jeff Garrett in regard to misinformation found on the internet.
