Thicker than normal 1995 cent

I found a Lincoln which looks more thicker than other cents I've come across. Like a nickel thickness. Is this common? Plus the date is very faint from a filled die. Kind of cool!

    Unfortunately, my cat killed my coin scale by pushing it off my dresser one day. Got to pick a new one up but will try and weigh it tomorrow at my friends house.

    Perhaps if there were enough grease on the dies the extra mass between the two dies could cause the rims to strike up a bit better, but we really need to know that weight.
