My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 1:38 pm Why is it that the date on these two pennies look so different from each other did they change something within those two years or is it just my imagination because one is more shiny? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19378 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 2:27 pm It would appear the alignment of the dates--number-by-number-by number--is different, but that's the way it is, not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 6:58 pm Various things can alter size of devices. Die states, Die swelling of the master hub. Extreme die polishing. Grease Fill on devices. The difference between the large and small date 1982 is the master hub was replace (small date) and the swollen (large Date) was the cause. I experimented with Photoshop and saw that the small date image could be altered to show a small and large date from one set of images of the small date: I was wondering if the '2' differences would be changed by enlarging the image from the center, and it die. Here are the real deals side side: Edited by coop 11/02/2020 7:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
