Vin71 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 02:19 am Good Evening I have 2 1972 Lincoln Penny from Philadelphia,compared the dates sude by side and they are totally different Is there a large date and a small date variety for this year? I looked all over the forum and checked online, I couldn't find anything. I read the post on this forum,where members have stated that there is no small or large date for this year. I believe that there might be. Take a look at the date. Report this Post to the Staff

In my opinion, they have the same style date.

Bbwgirlly1982 Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 6:04 pm I do know the difference between the small date and large date one will be thin in width and at the belly of the 2 before the line goes behind it that is thin and has a slight bend out the large date has a straight belly Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 6:13 pm There were no small/large dates that year. The die that struck the lower coin was over polished, removing part of the fields, thinning the devices when the widest part of the devices were reduced from the polishing: Report this Post to the Staff
