Just making sure for everyone that it is actually real and not a magic coin or fake.

The thing is that if this coin is the result of Mint Sport, any TPG that tries to 'authenticate' it is going to call genuine, because the planchet would be just that, a genuine 5c planchet. Does not mean that that the so called 'error' is genuine, just that it was done on a genuine planchet. Stuck between a rock and hard place? I don't have one but even if I did, I would not even consider that it was genuine, regardless if some TPG said it was. Seems to me that the person responsible for these no longer works at the Mint, as all the recent double sided coins are dated 2007, a bit of a coincidence, I think not.

But it has been authenticated and sold in Australia and it is a 5 cent not a 10 cent.

Either way I will get this authenticated, just for peace of mind.

Doesn't seem very 'authenticated' to me. Why cross it out, then add it?

Did not cross anything out, not sure what your saying nevol, if it's the image I posted up of pgcs Au55 Australian 5 cent double obverse 5 cent 2007. That image was from my collectables site I just took screenshot to show you that this coin does exist and has been authenticated and graded by pgcs.

What grade would you think this Australian 5 cent double headed coin if it was authenticated by pgcs too be real.
