Can someone tell me the rarity of an L on the ribbon of an Indian Head cent, other than the 1864?

All Indian Head cents after 1864 have the L. There is ZERO significance of any other date having it..they all do.

They changed the design in 1864 to include the L and it was used until the series ended. That is why it is a variant in 1864 only.
