I believe that ANACS implied a discrete impurity rather than a magnetic material being melted and mixed throughout the planchet which would constitute an alloy.And how could they know that...
They may have done an x-ray spectrographic analysis of the coin and determined that the surface is of the proper alloy and thus concluded the magnetic material must be on the inside the planchet. It's only a guess since I have no way of knowing what actually transpired inside ANACS when they evaluated this coin.
Perhaps. It's hard to imagine them turning this into much of a research project.

Nope. Just the usual pile of junk

I had the same dilemma with a non steel wheat cent. I learned a super ultra fine hole was drilled into the edge and a steel rod was inserted. The purpose was for magic tricks.The edge damage was hardly recognizable even on such a small coin and a 16X loupe.
Interesting. I didn't see anything but I only looked quickly.
