    Welcome to the show. Sorry, but there's too much glare off the plastic. You're going to have to take it out of the holder in order to get pictures we can give honest opinions on. Both sides too.

    You can look up 1963 proof cents to see if there are any known varieties or errors.
    If your coin has a mint error (I don't see anything) it can't be the only one. All of the other proofs that were struck with the dies that struck your coin would also have this error. (50,000?) Just a round number, I don't know how many they strike from each set of dies. What do you think you see? Maybe circle it in a regular photo.
    Errors are rare.
    Also in those days, I imagine quality control was a little better than it is today and these proof coins/sets had to be inspected before being shipped.
