    I don't understand what you are stating or asking o_O
    What is a steelhead? Isn't that a fish?

    The ‘holy grail’ you are referring to is a 1944 cent on a solid steel planchet. A 1944 steel plated copper cent is not a rarity.

    I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are even trying to say. Perhaps I need another beer or two.

    For starters - How about you post decent pictures of the obverse and reverse of the coin in question?

    As many as people decided to plate. It was not done at the mint. It is considered post mint damage.

    In 1943 the cents made were steel plated with zinc. Some 1943 cents exist that are made of 95% copper, these are the rare ones. In 1944 we returned to the 95% copper cents, however some have been found that were made of the blanks that were zinc plated steel. We have never had steel plated coins.
