This is a damaged coin. Someone has messed with it and smoothed down the edges and made them look higher but it's not a thicker coin from center out.

... :agree:
the 'reeding' has been 'spooned' or 'filed/rubbed' off/down,...
& the 'marks' your seeing, are 'contact marks' from circulation.

have you 'weighed' the coin ??
