Hey good coinnoisseurs, would it be possible that the reverse was not struck completely due to the thin planchet, making a weak strike? The obverse looks pretty sharp.

Guessing this is just natural wear and no big deal.

Probably just from wear and tear.

Over many decades of hunting, I've come across a few thousand heavily circulated early wheat cents with very worn reverses, and only slightly less worn obverses. As such, the coin above looks typical to me.

with that much wear, I'm not surprised it lost that much weight. even the rims are worn down to the fields.

Agree - reverse just has more wear than obverse.
