A worn penny is measuring 1mm thick, proportionally this halfpenny looks thick to me.

I have measured the C in Victoria on a Halfpenny I have to hand using a vernier caliper the C seem's close to 2mm in height. 

Using the above image if I measure the C in Victoria then apply that to rim of the coin it appears similar thickness of roughly 2mm I know the image is on an angle which may change the accuracy of those measurments. It just looks thick to me.

The halfpenny coins I have measure around 1.2- 1.3mm thick. The imaged coin is clearly thicker than that.

What do you think?

Thanks
