That was two years ago....

 

I just came across the article by chance. Thought it was recent news. Time to hit the edit button.

 

still a cool read

 

And it's a pattern not a cent issued for circulation.

 

Anyone think the 74-D Aluminum Cent would have held the honor if the auction was allowed to proceed? I kind of do

 

No I don't think it would.

 

Don't think so either. Would bring big money for sure though. US Pattern coins are so interesting, rare and historical. Among my favorites, although way beyond my reach.
