In fact the 1962D LMC large and small date variety were the same type as 1982 LMC, both of them were concentrated to difference between the "2" design.

Large Date(Rare Variety-The Only Cent)
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date


Small Date(Normal Variety)

I don't know where you are getting your information, but there is only one size date for this year. Alters on the coins, dies with chips and reduction from over polishing is just the way things happened this year. An example? Here is a proof die that was over polished and it made the devices smaller.

But just one master hub was created that year passing the same information down.

Mr Coop. In the two examples you posted above, the three color lines make up the same angle, whether before or after polishing, but in my two posted cent pics, the three color lines make up the difference angle.

The one coin is damaged. The damage altered the '2'. Neither are valuable. Damage /alterations/plating never improves the value of a coin. It lowers it. Damage often turns even a new coin into a cull coin. (Sometimes reducing it by 90%) or face value.

I think my posted pics "The One Coin" of 1962D LMC was a machanical error striking process cent, because a date number of "8" can be changed to "3" by human hand cutting the west side edge of "8", but it is certainly impossible to raise or to fall, to tilted or to erected the pattern of a date number by human hand.

The One Coin
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date


The Normal Cent
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date

There is a difference in the nine and the two. See 1982 small date for reference.

What you have posted are repunched mint marks. The two has more of a question mark to its look on a small date and the nine's inner loop points toward the rim or angled at a ninety degree angle. Every year in the sixties has both large and small dates. Even the 1982 has smalland large dates and most 1970's as well.

Your first coin may even be a small over large date.

There are no large and small date varieties for the 1962-D cent.

Another over polished die example:
Proof 1962 Cent:
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date
1962-D--Lincoln-Memorial-Cent---Small-Date-Vs-Large-Date
Even the slightest hit on the ends of the '2' on the date could alter the angle. Just one size date that year. (normal)
