What is the value of a double faced 25 cent coin?

What do you mean "double faced" you mean like a doubled die error? Or do you mean it has heads on both sides? If it has heads on both sides it is not a mint product but rather a "magician's coin" and is privately made and pretty much worthless. If it is a doubled die error, please provide the year and mint-mark of the coin so we can better identify if it is a known error and how much it is worth.


What does doubled die mean in coins?

We might call a doubled die coin "double struck" because it was "minted" twice with the same die. This results in a minting error. A date or part of the design can be "repeated" on a coin thus minted. A coin that escapes the quality control screening and makes it out into circulation can be worth some bucks. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article, below. If a coin is a double die as a result of the die itself having an inconsistency it is worth far more than a coin that was simply struck twice.


What is a doubled die error on coins?

A "Doubled Die" error on a coin is the result of a fault in the die manufacturing process creating either a fully complete image at an angle to the original or, most commonly, what might appear as a blurred image on the coin such as you may get if you move a camera at the point of taking the photo. Such dies should never reach the point of striking a coin. The term "Doubled Die" should not be confused with the terms "Die Clash", which is the obverse and reverse dies meeting without a blank between them giving a slight mirror image on both sides of the coin, or a "Double Strike" which is the same blank being struck twice by the same dies.

Have a 1986 penny which has in god we trust which is written as a reflection basically a double die Is it worth anything?

I never heard of any 1986 penny being a doubled-die obverse but it doesn't mean there are none out there. To help you out a little a 1983 penny in MS-65 is worth about $0.30 and the doubled-die reverse is worth about $300.00 in MS-65. You may want to take the coin to a few coin dealers and get their opinion on it.


What is meant by double die in reference to US pennies?

A doubled die is a condition normally not found with modern practices found at the United States Mint; other countries' mints, as well as private mints, may still produce doubled dies. A doubled die is when a double image of the coin is created on the die used to strike the coin. In years past a master die was made by copying a plaster copy of the final coin to steel, reducing the size to the correct size of the coin in the process. This master positive would then be struck into another piece of steel, producing a die. That die would then be used to produce more steel positives, which would be used to create more dies, until all the dies that would be needed would be created. (The steel was hardened along the way to allow each result to strike more than one copy of die or positive image.) Because the force required to transfer the image was more than earlier equipment could handle, each positive or die would be struck multiple times. If anything changed between strikings, a double image would be created and transferred in subsequent strikings, eventually to the final coins produced by the doubled die or set of doubled dies. In some cases, unused dies from the previous year would be modified, replacing the previous year with the current one; if the previous image was not completely obliterated, a doubled die condition would also occur. A doubled die is not the same as a doubly-struck coin. Many coins are actually struck multiple times, either intentionally (in the case of proof coins) or unintentionally (such as die bounce).
