If you paid more than would be appropriate for a cleaned 1923-P dollar, I think you're right.
It's worth enough to buy a cheap pair of reading glasses and see that the date is 1923, not 1928. (It's possible to be deceived by this photo, but...
I think I get what you mean, but the one-cent denomination is too small. Hard-money fans are fond of saying things like "a silver quarter would...

I'm going to have to disagree on that point. For constrained tasks, machine vision can be MUCH more efficient (faster, more accurate, more...
I've also put a scrap of thin paper over the hole, pressed the coin through that, and then torn off the surrounding exposed tissue. That was after...
It is probably nickel-plated. Pure nickel plating is attracted to a magnet. Welcome to CoinTalk!
