I got this in a kilo batch it was so black you could not tell it was silver for over a year. My question is why so thin. Looks like the guy with the dies was very angry and really struck this one.

I know there has been some wear but this is very thin, like the blank was thin to start with or struck very hard, you can see how expanded the coin is.
