How much is a two headed quarter worth with the year 1776 to 1976?

Answer 1

Not much. These are altered, "trick" coins made for sleight-of-hand magicians, produced by milling out the reverse of one coin and shaving down another - then they are sealed together, in one of several methods. These trick coins are sometimes sold at shops specializing in magic tricks for about $7 ... Note - although there are cases of error coins accidently produced by the US Mint, a double- headed (or reverse) coin is impossible. This is so because the presses that strike the coins are built specially to prevent this. The heads side of coins are all made in one manner and the tails in a completely different manner. The 'heads' side is a D cylinder- type of die, and its called the 'hammer', whereas the 'tails' side is a square die and sits in a base called the 'anvil'. It's impossible to set it up to make a two heads or two tails coin, even if they wanted to do it on purpose. Think square peg in round hole. Won't work.
