I took a few pictures. I have 2 of the steel cents. I put them side by side and also a pic on top of each other staggered so I could get both dates. U can clearly see the difference
Two different coins will almost always show differences, different dies, different die states, different levels of circulation or environmental damage. Steel was much harder on the dies than the previous bronze so Die Deterioration is extremely common on these, as is rust.
