Good eye ! 1974 was a year that had an obverse design change with in that year giving us what can be referred to as large and small dates. Neither one carriers a premium over the other. Here is a link that gives a better explanation. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/small-dates-vs-large-dates/

Yup, it's a known variety.

 

You need to make your thread title understandable
I thought you had 1 Cent with 2 dates.
You should of said "Does the 1974 Cent have different dates?"
