I knew hammered coins were thin but this one looked rather thick due to the strong strike on the obverse. I was amazed at how thin it was after I took it out of the holder. It's hard to hold onto the coin! I also read on one of the coin sites that the reverse dies of this variety deteriorated so the majority of them are found with weak reverses.
