No, it is actually normal. This is a VERY early die state coin, like in the first hundred stamped, just really a fresh one. The Thickness is seen in the highest point, across the top of the digit, a DDO is wider there and down the sides to the fields. Good question tho...
All the devices have angled edges and a flat top when first made...like these diagrams show...further use rounds off these sharp edges...
