How does something like this possibly happen and how is it legal to own? I would think this would have to be done from someone inside them in and smuggled out. I didn't think it was possible for a planchet bigger than a cent to be inserted for striking without destroying it.

I've groused about these fabrications for years. TPGs should use a special label if they stoop to slabbing them for they are most certainly not "errors".

It has to be an intentionally made so called "error" coin. Mint assisted "error". The chances of that happening truly by accident is super slim.

I like real dual-denominated coins, like the New Zealand ten cents / one shilling of 1966. Not this.

intentional dual denomination 'errors'
Probably during set up of a press they pressed one quarter (or several) then removed the quarter dies, placed in cent dies, replaced a already minted quarter into the collar, then struck the cent on to the quarter.

(just my guess anyway)
