There is a variety of 90s pennies, with i believe 1992 being the most sought after year, called the Close AM variety.

What happened is the Mint had to change the dye used to make coins a little, so some coins came out a hair different.

Here is the difference between one cent and a few thousand

I have two 1992 pennies here I am almost certain are not the close AM.

but, something to look out for. These are rare, maybe once in a lifetime type coins, but still. You can easily find 1992 pennies in circulation all day long.
