Hi,

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2845.html

here I would agree to the varieties, BUT ONLY if thin and thick would have measures. Thin and thick are nice good words, but they are subjective without 1, having the measurements, or 2, having one of each next to each other.

I have two 2006 km236 coins in front of me. They both measure 0.85 mm, but would that make them thin or thick rims?

Please give the measurements or leave only one year line per year.

Thank you

The photos in Comments look pretty clear to me as to the comparative size of the rims.

​Not at all, if you can measure please do it! Just to make things objective and not hidden between subjectives like thin, wide, heavy, light, and what have you!

Hm... I think I must agree with Coinman on this. As you said, you must either have the measurements or have the two varieties beside each other. With the pictures on the coin's page, the two varieties are shown beside each other, giving a nice comparison.

Of course, that is not to say adding measurements is pointless. If you can determine which variety you have using the pictures on the page, something along the lines of this can possibly be added to the page:

Thin rim: ­­­_____ millimetres
Thick rim: ­­_____ millimetres

(And insert the 0.85 millimetres into the proper spot.)

And if the non-0.85 millimetre one is left blank, someone who owns that variety may be able to eventually provide the measurements. :`
