I'm not sure how it happened either. "long term stored"- yes. Here is how I got it. From a 50-60 world coin stash from my wife's passed away grandmother. There were large Can. cents, British silver, Can. silver, American Peace dollar and others all mixed together in a little box. I thought of it being AT, but talked myself out of it when I figured grandma had it tucked away for far to long. But, you just never know. (edit) It has a slight die rotation too.  .

My wife showed me this colorful 1967 Roosevelt dime she received in change. I was so thrilled that she thought to show it to me. Normally, she doesn't have any interest in coins. It made my day!
