I have talked to hundreds of people who had a copy of Superman #1. With that many floating around in a town of 30,000, I tell them it could only be worth a buck or two.

There were 1,579,324 aluminum cents struck in 1974. The books and mint say most were destroyed and none were placed in circulation. The Smithsonian has one.

So,here are some hypothetical questions; If I had one what would I do with it? Where could I sell it? Could I be arrested for having it in my possession?

Of course your not using your imagination. Why just take a blank Album page that would fit in your present album, insert somewhere in the middle, fill with those 22 Plains, 55 Double Dies, 74 Aluminums, 59 Wheat Back cents, 43 and 43D Copper Cents, 44 Steel Cents, etc. Make sure you save a place for the 1910 Indian Head cent and the 1908 Lincoln Cent too. Of course there is the double headed or two faced ones too. Arrested? Why? Your just a coin collector, you didn't make that stupid thing. If it's really iligal, put the people that made it in jail.
Rest in Peace

How the heck would we know what you would do with it? I'd get rid of it as soon as I could get a good price. As one of two in private hands, it should be worth as much as the 1933 saint.

Unless you find a dealer with a private buyer, your best bet would be an auction connected to a major show.

Depends on where you stole it.
