1974-D specimen[edit] In January 2014, San Diego resident Randy Lawrence discovered the only specimen of the 1974-D aluminum cent currently known to exist. The coin had been in the possession of his father, a former deputy superintendent of the Denver Mint, who kept it in a sandwich bag along with other coins. Lawrence brought the coin to La Jolla coin dealer Michael McConnell, who estimated its value at a minimum of US$250,000, up to $2 million or possibly more. Lawrence and McConnell will auction the coin in April 2014 after it tours the United States and split the proceeds; Lawrence plans to donate as much as $100,000 of his share to homeless programs.[15]

Sounds like some are more equal than others.
