2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

Re: What different varieties are there in proof coins
First of all , Welcome . Secondly , are you asking about your coin. It's a business strike NOT Proof . It's appears to be in G-4 condition at best . Worth about $1. It also appear to have been possibly dug . They produced 39,057,293 that year . https://coinvalues.com/indian-head-pennies/1896
