I had to get a different coin for the side by side. You had a 1992 and a 1990. You should always use the same date of coins to compare with. (small and large dates on some years can be a factor) IE:
1992-LMC-Unusual-Bust
1992-LMC-Unusual-Bust
Note that the date is not the only thing different on this year. The bust is smaller, All the devices are smaller. Seeing them side by side helps up to see the differences.

Oh. I did have photos of it compared to another 1992 P (that's the bright red one), but I also compared it to a 1990 P to be able to see the feature comparisons clearly, because the 1990 is similarly colored. That red 92 is so shiny it was confusing. You can see in the 'pencil sketch' that all the shine and color is removed, making for an easier comparison of same-date, same-mint. Again here that is:
1992-LMC-Unusual-Bust

TY in LIBERTY was all I needed to see to tell that this was an overpolished die issue. Notice how it gets skinnier?

Coop, bit of an old post here,but I am intensely curious on how you can tell that the "skinny Abe" is from a different master die than the other 1992. Great skill for me to learn!
