You may be able to sell it on eBay for under $5 (since these are readily available as novelty items for around $6). Because of the way the US Mint manufactures coins, it's almost impossible to have a real two-headed or two-tailed coin of any denomination. There are situations where you may see a mirror image on one side of a coin, eg a standard obverse or "heads" side on one side and a reversed incuse image on the opposite side, but it will not look like a two-headed coin. Certain coin designs may also have on the "tails" side a different person's head. I don't recall that ever happening with the US nickel, though I could be wrong. The other side will appear completely different, though, from the "heads" side.

More than likely this is a novelty coin, available at various locations for about $6. Look at the edge or around the rim on either side of the coin for a small seam; this will confirm that it's a novelty coin made from two standard nickels.

This seems like too exotic of an error to be genuine. I suggest you get a first-hand appraisal by a professional. Check out the ANACS website to see if they will be attending any shows in your area, where you can take it and get a free appraisal : http:/www.anacs.com/shows.html

If it is a Mint error it may be worth a few dollars, take it to a coin dealer to see if it has any value.MoreIt's called a Jefferson nickel rather than a Monticello nickel.
