1943 Lincoln Cent - Thickness And Notching?

Hello all,

I was going through some coins that I found coin roll hunting, and this stood out among them, after close observation.

I've compared this to other 1943 Lincoln Cents that I own, and there is noticeable thickness, minor distortion, and notching on some of the letters.

I know this penny isn't in the best condition.

Getting straight to the pictures to show what I mean:

Obverse


Reverse


thickness on the letters "GOD"


thickness on the "W" and a little bit on the "E"


thickness on the top of the "T", a little bit on parts of the "R", and "U"


More thickness top of the "T" a little bit on the "S"



That's all for the pictures folks, thank you for stopping by, have a good rest of the day/week.
