    Not aluminum but steel, and in this case one that has been reprocessed (replated).

    The one you posted may be the best looking, but next to the last one in your other photo is the only one that is worth anything, IMO.

    The others are around a nickel.
    I would go 15 cents on the nice one.

    @Chris .c. You won't get any better advice than this. A Guide Book of United States Coins called the Redbook. Best $10-15 you'll ever spend on the hobby. Filled with lots and lots of great info.

    I would bet that at least 95%+ of experience collectors who started with US coins had one early in their collecting career
