I read this The collector submitted the cent to Secret Service Forensic Division, and in their opinion the coin was genuine. The coin was then examined by numismatists representing the major coin grading companies who were of the opinion the coin should receive a "No Decision" grade because its authenticity could not be guaranteed. The coin was sent to the Secret Service for a second time, and once again their opinion was that the cent was genuine. A 200-power optical scanning electron micrograph showed that the coin was not a composition of two coins, an altered date, or a tooled coin. In 1993, the coin was sent to PCGS. PCGS was of the opinion that the cent was produced by fabricated dies made using spark erosion.
That was a one-of-a-kind potential bombshell which has at least a reasonable chance of existing, a combination of two designs which were changed that year. It's pretty much the only time that's ever happened.
We don't even know what coin you're talking about. Why do you not accept the opinions of the experts here? We've given you incontrovertibly clear answers to all your questions, and we will continue to do so.
There should be no cost to send the coin to the Secret Service, but bear in mind they deal with counterfeits and not rarities or oddities. If they deem the item counterfeit, I believe that they will confiscate the item
If you send it to the Mint and they deem it a deliberate error, they will likely confiscate it as well. They may very well confiscate even if the error is no deliberate. Their business is manufacturing usable coinage and they may take your coin and send you a nice shiny substitute and a nice letter stating, "Thanks for playing; you lose".
Send the item to PCGS or NGC (or both),and discuss with non-Governmental experts. You are taking a huge risk of losing the item by involving the Government.
here is the coin I have posted before. for I cant let this go, its because I know there is something here that's been done by machine and not no rubber tire in the parking lot as some have mentioned. the first image is a blurry picture of the coin. the second is 4 arrows each one of them represents a single stamp of the same image in that order. on the coin. I have examined the coin for hours. I know what all of you are thinking or want to say that's why I need some pro to take a look at it.it also feels and sounds funny to me but I know and I see the same marks front both on each side of the coin.I will find out! Forget about the first image you cant even see it duh sorry oh yeah its a 2005 nickel.
