Without more details it's not possible to know whether it's a magician's coin made from the front halves of two Presidential dollars, or a promotional giveaway from an advertising campaign a couple of decades ago. But either way it has little or no collectible value.

Are there any real double headed quarters?

No. The only double headed coin to circulate in the US was an undated George Washington Cent minted sometime between 1783 and 1793.


1789 double headed George Washington?

A coin stamped with 1789 with a profile of George Washington is not worth any monetary value. This type of coin was stamped privately and is commemorative.


Your son has a double headed quarter with George Washington on it dated 1789 what is its value and the storie behind it?

Look at the date again. NO Washington quarter should have a date before 1932. Double headed and double tailed coins are called magician's coins and are made by machining and joining parts from two real quarters. They have no numismatic value but are sold by novelty shops for $5 - $10 and are available on eBay for $2 - $3.


When was the first US President elected to office?

The United States presidential election of 1789 was the first presidential election in the United States of America, and was the only one to not take place in an even numbered year. The election took place following the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788. The polls opened on December 15, 1788, and closed on January 10, 1789. In this election, George Washington was elected for the first of his two terms as President of the United States, and John Adams became the first Vice President of the United States.Before this election, the United States had no chief executive. Under the previous system-the Articles of Confederation-the national government was headed by theConfederation Congress, which had a ceremonial presiding officer and several executive departments, but no independent executive branch.In this election, the enormously popular Washington essentially ran unopposed. The only real issue to be decided was who would be chosen as vice president. Under thesystem then in place, each elector cast two votes; if a person received a vote from a majority of the electors, that person became president, and the runner-up became vice president. All 69 electors cast one vote for Washington. Their other votes were divided among eleven other candidates; John Adams received the most, becoming vice president. The Twelfth Amendment, ratified in 1804, would change this procedure, requiring each elector to cast distinct votes for president and vice president.


How much will a 1789 George Washington dollar sell for?

$1. It's an ordinary circulation coin. Also, it's not gold, just brass. More Information: There was no George Washington dollar minted in 1789. The only coin honoring Washington that could have possibly been minted in that year was an undated one cent coin with a head on both sides. This was probably the only legal 2 headed coin to circulate in the US.
