Its really hard to say. Your first major hurdle to buying or selling a 1974 aluminum penny is the fact that their legality to own is in doubt, there is one specimen known to be in private hands and as far as I know it has never been offered for sale but has been slabbed by PCGS as MS-62 I believe.

If it was 100% legal to own such a coin, I'd imagine that at an auction it would fetch close to $250,000+. In general, pattern coins tend to bring less in an auction than coins intended for circulation even though their rarity is much higher so I don't think it would reach the $7 million fetched by the 1933 double eagle or even the 1 million for a 1943-D copper penny, but it certainly wouldn't be a chap coin.
