I'm not really sure why 1992 keeps getting me. But I noticed a visibly skinnier Abe on the darker coin and not noticed one before. What makes him look like that? It's almost like he's missing half of him. Second coin pictured for reference.
Thought it was kinda cool. Might keep it.

Sorry, no difference. Just appears different with circulation darkening of the other one.

Well, I politely disagree. There's more space under his chin

There does seem to be more space under his chin, weird. Can we see pics of the reverse? Also, perhaps another 1992 Philadelphia mint next to it?

I design the coins you put. Can you tell me where are the differences? For me is normal president bust. Only first to 4 strike with a brain new die will be almost undetectable slimmer, then the die will expand due to the internal strike heat and usury and dilatation of thee material. We discuss about 1/50 of a micron on 5000 struck at least.

File size limitations are brutal. I'd be happy to text anyone a larger shot if anyone would like

Measure the diameter. Looks like a Texas Cent in the making. not stretched enough to break the plating off.
Rest in Peace

From what I can see , the reason there is more space under the chin of the darkened cent is because the red cents chin beard protrudes further down , and the other one is horizontally straight .
