If you were to put this on top of an ordinary dime, you would see the diameter is also smaller. Thick rim + smaller diameter = either dryer or spooned coin.
The purpose of spooning is to make rings, A dime ring sure won't fit on anyone's finger. Minimum is quarters for very small fingers, usually halves and dollars. I think dimes are rarely spooned since it's kinda pointless.
