    They are two different dates. Why do they need to look the same? Do these 3's look the same?

    The larger more rounded "0" in the 1910 date than in 1909 or 1920, etc. is artistic privilege, and is normal. You will find that font tends to wander through the years, RLM's example being one of them with the "3". Someplace , I have a reference of all of the font changes and "cosmetic surgery" on Lincoln's bust.
