what causes one JFK to be 1/2 as thick as another JFK? Added photo

Was just going through a tube of some JFK's, and noticed one is really thin compared to the others, more like the thickness of a quarter. Diameter is the same as the other JFK's. Just curious.

    Might be minted on a quarter planchet strip. Weight it. -Should weigh 11.34 grams. If it weights less, have it authenticated (ANACS or PCGS) as that would be quite the find.

    Maybe it's a Hickman?

    Could be struck on a planchet cut from quarter thickness stock, could struck on an SBA planchet (weight would be 8.1 grams), or possibly struck on a foreign planchet. Does it show the clad layers? If it does then it is most likely the first or second possibility. If no layers show then the third possibility becomes more likely.

    No way. His have a shrunken diameter and thickened depth.
