1863 One penny help

[Brodie Watt]

I dug up this coin today and did some research. Google said if the 3 has a defect it might be worth something. I think the 3 is it a slight slant and is lower than the other numbers. Comparing it to the other coins online it looks different but i’m not sure if that’s just cause it’s been in the ground for over 160 years. Any thoughts and opinions would be great,
Thanks !

Hi Brodie,

I’m afraid that this is a normal 1863 penny and not one of the rare varieties. In this condition it is worth scrap metal value only. It’s not so much the position of the ‘3’ as the actual design of the ‘3’ digit that governs the rarity. 
Keep searching and good luck!
