A cent can be on a dime blank, for the dime is smaller and would fit into the cent collar. It happens from time to time due to coin blanks are in hoppers and when emptied, blanks can stick to areas in the hopper and new blanks put on top of them, jaring them free. The same size blanks may not be used in the same hoppers. It needs to be authenticated. It may also be a trick coin used in magic tricks, if it has a seam running around the rim, then the cent was hollowed out and the dime put in. It is very unusual for a coin to have two different denominations on it. In recent years mint employees got themselves in trouble for making just this type of thing, except it was quarters and Sac dollars. You can send it to a professional grading and authenticating service like ANACS, go to www.ANACS.com for how to. This will cost you, see their site for the fee. To quickly check it out before spending money, you can try Ken Potter he is an expert on mint errors.You can reach him at ken@koinpro. I have a feeling he is going to say it is a magic coin. Good luck!

It is probably worth a lot of money. A lot more than a penny or a dime.

it is a mint error,it isn't a rare thing to happen considering the millions of coins made.its value depends on clarity of strike ect.i estimate in the 3-10 dollar range. if its silver its a dime, copper a penny blank.

The us mint spots 99.9% of all errors that happen, so it is sure to be worth some money. It all depends on what error coin it is in determining its value. There is a coin out there that is the new dollar coin on one side and a quarter on the other and it is worth 20k dollars. Go to a coin store and look it up in a book to see what it is worth, i would get it graded if i was you.

It's not an official coin--it might have been the result of a mix-up at the U.S Mint but that's unlikely. It's probably worth something as a curiosity.
