 The coin is considered by a few numismatists not as a "pattern coin", but rather a "rejected or cancelled regular issue", despite being listed in pattern books.In the February 20, 2001, edition of "Numismatic News", Alan Herbert reported the existence of an aluminum cent.It was attributed to US Capitol Police Officer Albert Toven, who had found the coin dropped by an unnamed US Congressman on the floor of the Rayburn Office Building.
