What is the rarest double headed penny and are there some from every year?

To the best of my knowledge (and I have been collecting for almost 50 years) only one two-headed US Cent has been authenticated and it is an Indian Head from the 1860's. Search the web for Jakes Marketplace to find two-headed magicians coins. Double headed coins -- novelty items -- are manufactured from normal coins, so they can exist for any year. A lot of them actually have different dates on each side. There are no records anywhere to keep track of which years exist -- it would be impossible to keep track of that, since anybody with a lathe, a grinder, and some glue could make them.

Double headed young Queen Victoria on both sides of the coin with no date?

The Canadian "double-headed" cent is equal to the British One Penny. The Canadian one "cent" is equal to the British 1/2 penny (so a British penny is 2 cents or 1 double-headed cent). When first issued, the Canadian government had them struck to a standard of 100 coins to the pound of bronze rather than the the British standard of 80 coins to the pound of bronze. The first 1858 issues, however, were unpopular and originally had to be sold at a discount. It is believed the Canadians joined the two cents together to make them equivalent to the British Penny.


Are all double headed quarters fake?

Yes, although the machinists who make the double headed quarters actually machine away the appropriate parts and stick together the heads of two quarters to make a double headed quarter... or half or whatever he is trying to make. While there have never been any 2-headed quarters found, there have been 3 genuine 2-tailed quarters found. See the following web page for details : http://varietynickels.com/articles/twotailed.htm

What is the value of an 1891 British double-sided Penny?

All coins have two sides. Most double headed (tailed) coins are trick coins available at magic shops.However, nothing is impossible. Any coin with a "genuine" minting error, such as a "double header", would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.Genuine error coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

How much is a 1972 d mint 2 headed penny with no visible seams worth?

It's very likely this has been done by a few company's that make novelty and magicians coins. Two coins same date, one has the reverse milled out leaving the rim and the other is turned and decked down to fit inside the milled out piece giving the appearance of a two headed coin. This why you do not see a seam like some two headed coins that are cut in half and glued together. And I have actually seen all denominations of modern coins of this kind. As to value I think about $5.00

How much is a two headed fifty pence worth?

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation. Flaws and errors on coins should not be confused with mutilation or mangling of the coin. It should be noted that many people have the interest, skill and enthusiasm to fraudulently alter otherwise normal coins for the purpose of personal gain or notoriety. Also, many coins are commercially produced for magic or trick purposes and these include "double headers/tails" and "impossible" coins like a US silver Dollar on one side and a British copper Penny on the other.
