Yeah, and from the point of view of a novice but looking at this logically, if the planchet was originally the same thickness as all other 1938 Crown planchets, when the two halves are pressed together the split planchet should be of a normal thickness. Judging from the pic there's no way it wouldn't be thinner.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!
