Images are way too unclear to tell. But since you asked, I'm assuming PSD. |

 If you can get better pictures, we can give better answers.  From what I see, it looks like it may be a lamination issue. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

SilverCents, Lincoln Memorial Cents were not plated back then, so that would be impossible. They were mostly pure Copper. Lincoln Memorial Cents weren't Copper plated until 1982. I am pretty sure this is a Lamination error.
Errers and Varietys.

Oh for goodness sake, before I mentioned that it could be a plating issue I searched up the composition of the 1963 cent and it said 95% copper and 5% zinc. Guess I thought the 5% zinc was the plating. Well, all I can do is learn.

Guess I thought the 5% zinc was the plating. 1943 cents were zinc plated (coated). They are also silver in color because...zinc. The only cents that are not an alloy are the 1943 and 1983-present coins. 1982 saw many as well, but not all. @SilverCents Research metal alloys a bit. It will help with numismatics.
