Maybe I am mistaken but these look like generic copper cents and not the elusive aluminum cents.
Unless albuminum cents turn brown over time...
Am I mistaken??

Not a chance those are aluminum.

Why would copper colored Lincoln cents
be possibly struck on Aluminum planchets?

Throw in the word "aluminum", and throw a huge price tag on it! eBay. Harumph….
Perhaps gold or even diamond 1974 cents will be next...
Smitten with DBLCs.
If you want a good laugh check the sellers other items, one has shipping of $1017.62
He even has a Canadian and mixed dates other then 74 posted. I'd like to meet the lucky winner of these brown aluminum mixed date Canadian pennies. Maybe it's a new variety and you can get attribution while your at it.
