jbuck Moderator United States 189673 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 2:37 pm Cheaper, but still not less than one cent. Even if material was somehow free, the cent still costs more than a cent to make.

Thank you Send it to PCGS or another third party grading company. After they have authenticated and graded it, contact a major auction company like Heritage Auctions. As far as I know, it is illegal to own a 1974-D Aluminum cent, so if it is real, it would most likely be confiscated. Let us know how it turns out! The coin you have pictured is definitely not a 1974-D Aluminum cent. Report this Post to the Staff

But an aluminum cent would weigh nothing. Imagine having a few in your pocket--you'd never know they were there. Report this Post to the Staff

Interesting. Maybe if we made the dollar coins out of aluminum then all of the "heavy pockets" peeps will finally stop complaining.

ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 4:44 pm I have a round Lucite paperweight ( inherited from my grandfather) with 5 1974 aluminum cents embedded in it. I just KNOW they aren't plated fakes at all, they just must be real, right? Report this Post to the Staff
