Good question... I don't know. Maybe someone had it set aside then mistakenly used it? I'm curious if that topic ever comes up in the coin community... why you might find a coin like that in circulation.

I was just in a stretch where I was picking up dimes and noticed one that felt and looked a little odd, dated 1906, and looked it up on google.
