[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2376480, member: 15929"]No, the Mint will not destroy the coin as they understand it's perceived value. What they will do is store the coin in Ft.

I do not believe that it will end up in the Smithsonian since its a "non-coin". The Treasury Departments obsession with these collectibles is becoming increasingly serious and this particular coin should have never been offered on a public venue. I cannot help but wonder why they haven't chased after the 1974 Aluminum Cent since folks know who owns it, ICG (AU-58) and PCGS (MS-62) have records of grading it with nationally published stories about it yet.......... Of course, maybe they've assigned a group of agents to track it's where abouts with a raid in mind?[/QUOTE]
