1963 D Lincoln Penny Obverse Damage at "L" in Liberty 1 1

[Cary Coins]

 

This 1963 D Lincoln Penny looks like the "L" in Liberty turned approximately 10 degrees.  Is this potentially an issue with the Die or Strike?

   This appears to be a planchet lamination that partly peeled after the coin was struck, causing the "L" and "I" to appear to be at angles.  See https://www.error-ref.com/?s=lamination.

Thanks Sandon.  Really appreciate the insight.

I agree on the lamination. You can see the area of it. I would say it is significant enough to be attributed as an error seeing there is a portion of the lamination and the resultant disturbance of the lettering. I do not think, however, if it would add any real premium to this coin. I would say for a coin of this year and mintmark, and its circulated condition and brown color, by the time you paid all the grading and error fees and shipping to and from, you would be at negative money by submitting it. It is the type of coin to sell or keep raw.
