    The 1974-D aluminum cent has to be the rarest.

    The 1974 would be a close second.

    A 1975 aluminum cent, if discovered, would be very rare.

    The steel pattern Lincolns are very rare.

    Edited to add: the reverses of these were designed by a U.S. Mint Engraver.


    The Martha Washington patterns used to be rare, but now there are many variations.

    That seems like a huge territory.... answers will likely only come in small segments... Cheers, RickO

    Agreed. It will take quite a while to figure this one out.

    It will be fun to start sorting all this out too.
