New to this... is this a double stamp?

No it is a single cent. jk

The light I think makes it look like a repunched mint mark but I think it is just a normal strike.

 

Might be die deterioration, or maybe even machine doubling. But it's hard to tell from just this one picture. Could you post pictures of the whole obverse and the whole reverse of the coin?

 

As of right now, I dont think there is any founling going on here. Most likely not a doubled date

 

If you are reffering to the date being a doubled die variety has absolutely nothing to do with a double strike. It is a Die variety and not a striking issue.

Educate yourself first before starting to search for something that is complicated.

Also.. No mint mark simply means it was minted at the Philadelphia Mint

 

Yes, I'm aware that no mint mark means it is from the Philadelphia mint. The whole reason I asked was simply because this coin was pulled from circulation and is in incredible shape for its age, I just wondered if it was possibly an error coin that came from someone's collection. Oh btw I wasn't searching for information to generate my own opinion about something I know nothing about. I posted it here to gain more insight into whether or not it was an error. If I was searching...why would i post it here asking a question? I would've made a statement, not asked for opinions that is if I thought I had any real knowledge on this subject!

 

Hi Shane - for the year 1963, I believe that you are looking for doubling in LIBERTY or a doubled eyelid. I don't believe I saw a listing for anything with the date when I looked a few weeks back at Coppercoins. So anything you see going on with the date is probably related to Machine Damage/Doubling.

Regarding its fine status, if you CRH much you will see several early 60s cents in AU/MS grade. Collection dumps for the most part. I had recently scooped up a bunch of early 60s Uncirculated cents at my LCS; $8 dollars face for about $12. To be honest, if I didn't intervene, they would have put them into their bank at face value as it isn't worth it for them to keep them around the shop. So releases to banks are quite common; collectors themselves or their families once they pass on. Fun to find in your change, and from my point of view, when you have a high grade coin in hand, it's worth looking at it for a variety. Check LIBERTY and the eyelid.

 

It looks great because it did not circulate. You can speculate as to why. Not a doubled die.
