<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JMGallego, post: 3093250, member: 35622&quot;]Good observation Robert.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you are looking is at one of the markers to identify whether that Lincoln cent is a small or a large 1974 Lincoln cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The horizontal bar of the &quot;4&quot; is short on the small date and long on the large date. The round tip in the bow tie is an indication (marker) the you have a small date, the proof has a pointy tip which is indication that is a large date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Business strikes of the 1974 Lincoln cents were minted with a large and small dates in about the same amount. So yours is a 1974 Lincoln cent small variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a good eye on determining differences in coins.&nbsp; Continue using this skill to find errors and varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
