Please see what I have shown as identifiers for this variety. Thoughts? I think this cent is from the same die as this: http://doubleddie.com/814997.html This coin is really awesome looking despite what the pictures seem to show. I am working on lighting to get more representative pictures. Cheers! Scott
IMO I don't believe it's a match the( L) is for (002) not (001) as you are referring to your coin does have die scratches, from my understanding your coin has to have all of the same identifying marks. It is 3:00 am here so I could be wrong on first cup of coffee. Lol Dave
There is a lot of die polishing and the l seems to fit quite a few DDO's for the year. As Dave said all the die markers must be present to verify. Your cent is pretty well circulated. For instance the mark you see on the D is actually a scratch running from the E in epu to the D it's not a die marker.
Thanks for the input everyone! I did try not to just "see something that I wanted to see" etc. but I may have done so anyway! As for the rest, this coin came from a roll, so it is circulated. Here is a comparison to other well circulated and almost uncirculated coins. This coin is top row center between 1941 very toned and 2018 AU. Below is what I was using for comparison in case the link is not working. Source: doubleddie.com 1963 1¢ WDDO-001 Description: Slight doubling shows below the L in LIBERTY.

I'm thinking it's either #09 http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1963PDDO009.htm Or #14 http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1963PDDO014.htm
I really think it's #14 . Look at the characteristics of the " B " in LIBERTY . Now, look at the characteristics of the " B " on the OP coin .
