Let's put it this way, if you have one, or know someone who has one, a bunch of lawyers will be involved.

What is the value of a 1974 aluminum penny?

The coins are technically illegal to own, but if found their value would likely be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.The Mint proposed changing the cent's composition to aluminum because the price of copper had risen to the point where a cent contained more than a penny's worth of that metal. Well over a million aluminum cents were struck in anticipation of a full production run, but the price of copper fell and all aluminum cents were to have been destroyed. However many of them had also been distributed to members of Congress for their approval and not all were returned.There's much more information at the Related Link.

What is the value of a 1937 aluminum US cent?

All genuine 1937 US cents were struck in bronze. If your coin weighs the same as a standard cent it's not aluminum; an aluminum cent would weigh only about a gram. If your coin is in fact substantially lighter than a genuine cent it could be either a fake or possibly a mint error struck on a blank intended for another country's coinage. To determine which, you'd need to take your coin to a knowledgeable coin dealer or examiner.

How can you tell if your 1974 penny is aluminum?

Should feel lighter than other pennies and make a different sound when moved around with other coins.MoreAs of 2012 no additional 1974 aluminum cents have been authenticated. It's very unlikely that any would turn up in change. Any that do exist are most likely from the group that were "temporarily" loaned to members of Congress for examination. As the prior answer noted, an aluminum cent is lighter than a standard 1974 bronze cent or a modern zinc cent. The difference is significant; the aluminum coins weigh(ed) about 1 gram which is far less than the 2.5 gm weight of a zinc cent or 3.11 gm weight of a bronze coin.


What is the value of a 1975d zinc plated aluminum US cent?

There are no Mint records of 1975 cents struck in aluminum. Only experimental 1974 cents were struck in that metal and they weren't zinc-plated. The best thing to do is to weigh your coin on a sensitive scale. All standard 1975 cents were struck in bronze and weigh 3.11 gm. An aluminum cent would weigh 1 to 1.3 gm.
