I noticed the T & Y in LIBERTY were not in line with the other letters and tilted downward. Anyone else ever come across this or know the cause?
Thank you for any help.
Sorry, Thought I had all 3 pictures uploaded when I initially posted this.

Re: 1963 Penny Obverse offset T & Y in LIBERTY?
Depending on what year, the mint would make new master hubs to make the dies from. So small differences can be found from coins of different years. For a good example, examine a 1968 cent next to a 1969. They are obviously different in looks without needing magnification. These differences are trivial and have always been a part of the minting process.
Here is some help to know what to look for and how to find collectable coins.
Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards.
Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless machine doubling, die deterioration, etc.
Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.
A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

I agree, you can find small differences on coins that are not collectible to the masses.
