I have 1963 penny where there is absolutely no vertical line at all in word liberty. I know in the 60's decade the L in liberty is forced into edge of most of pennies and vertical line on L in Liberty is very small but 1963 penny I have has only a straight line which is 98% part of edge. Is it worth a ton of money???
You need a photo showing as most of what you observe. Probably die deterioration or wear, but photo is needed. Still worth a cent at this time
