A "Die Error" would be an error caused by a defective, damaged, misaligned or incorrectly engraved die. It could also be a mismatched die pair, like the Golden Dollar reverse with a Washington Quarter obverse, but that would be better know as a Mule error. Dies that crack or break leave raised areas onthe coins where the metal on the die was missing. If the dies hit each other with no planchet (Blank Coin) between them, it can leave a slight image of the opposite die on the resulting coins. This is called Die Clash. If the coin is off center on one side and normal on the other it's call a MAD error or MisAligned Dies. One of the more valuable and rarest die error is the Doubled Die error. This happens with the dies are engraved with a second image, word or date slightly off of the intended image. This would be like the famous 1955 or 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse. Just my 2¢ worth.

If uncirculated the coin is worth about $2-3 with the grease filled die.

Can a double headed quarter be real?
Not if it is a modern coin. Modern coin minting equipment has the obverse (heads) and the reverse (Tails) dies "keyed" meaning that you can't insert an obverse die where the reverse die goes and vice versa. Because of it, it is impossible to have what most people think of a double headed coin. It is however possible to have what is known as a "Brockage" error where a coin gets stuck to the die and then the coin acts as a die for the next coin. This would mean that a coin could have 2 heads, but one side would be a reverse image of the other side.
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 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.
