    Pretty nice, for a circulated steel cent.

    The zinc plating appears intact.
    And it's not been "reprocessed".
    That's getting harder to find.
    Get an AIRTITE holder for it.
    Zinc is a VERY reactive metal, particularly in humid conditions.

    Yes. Be sure to spend 44 cents on an airtite holder to preserve a 13 cent coin.

    Sound enough advice, except an AirTite holder would likely cost more than that coin is worth.
