Thick flan?

[absence of uniformity]

I dont have this Halfpenny coin to hand but noticed what looks to be possibly a thick flan would you agree or not? I appreciate its not so easy to be sure from the image provided.

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

By measuring the top crossbar of the T on a coin I have to have it roughly 1.28-1.30mm if I measure the crossbar on the T on the above image then apply that measurement to the rim it suggest the Rim of the imaged coin is wider than 1.3mm.

The coin is 1874 H 10+J and I noticed this listed for 10+J : 1874H 10+J Thick flan R20

I just seen on LCA website there is a 1874 H Thick flan coin rated R20 listed as 2mm thick...

When comparing the imaged coin to the LCA example I cant see any differences in the die pairing.

The imaged coins is in alot better condition than the LCA coin which sold for £600. They state a EF example sold for £3042.

Just from this image alone would you not agree the flan thickness appears a similar width to the height to the C in Victoria?

No way you’re new to this, your language and approach is not elementary, it’s very weird! I know it’s not helpful or constructive to say this but I am really struggling, I can’t pitch you at all.
