That's about as perfect as they come! Great addition to your type set!
By the way, welcome to the forum and thanks for posting pictures of the item you have a question about!
Why do you think it has steel in it? Easy way to test is to use a magnet. If there really is any steel in the cent it will be attracted to the...
I think $29 is a fair price. As for future price... I wish I knew!
Some online of course. Also: The Numismatist (life member) Numismatic News Coin World The Greysheet Like Longshot I also occasionally grab one of...
I don't think so. The shape is not right. Almost looks like some kind of matter on the surface.
I have placed many dozens if not hundreds of Proof coins in circulation with the hope that people will notice them. In my regular day job I was a...
Just the way they did it that year at San Francisco. Cents and nickels were made for circulation and Proofs. Dimes, quarters, and halves were only...

What is the date? Looks like a gouge in the center of the ear.
Looks like somebody sneezed on it... Don't see any doubling though.
Hard to tell if there is a bit of chatter on the top edge of the wings and in the sun rays on the reverse or if that is just the picture. If so...
You were right, it is a beauty!
Pretty cool! Hard to grade such a late die state, but I am guessing that they gave it MS-65.
Very nice!! A few minor marks on the reverse. Maybe MS-65 RB. Again, a beauty!
Indian cents may be a good starting point. Always popular, not too expensive for the most part, and relatively easy to grade in circulated condition.
Price difference is about $300 between MS-65 and 66. Might be worth a try.
Still early in the year. Varieties are still waiting to be discovered.
Does not appear real from the pictures. Keep in mind that fakes outnumber real ones by 100 to 1.
Most likely a minor filled die. No extra value but interesting anyway.
