George Washington is portrayed on the head side of the US quarter.
For any quarter from 1932 to present, it would be George Washington -- for any quarter older than that, it would be an artist's depiction of (a fictional) Miss Liberty.

There are no 3 headed quarters minted by the U.S. Mint.
25 cents. It's likely been altered some how.
It's a novelty coin sold in hobby and magic shops. It has no collector value.
A date is needed, post new question

Side-facing bust of Abraham Lincoln on the "heads" side, and Lincoln Memorial on the "tails" side.

No, it's not possible that a double-headed quarter with two such diverse dates could be a legitimate Mint error. Dies are destroyed, if not worn out through usage, by the end of the year in which they are used. The coin in question is almost certainly a novelty or magician's coin.
HEADS!! Because our heads are bigger than our butts!! :)

The reverse of a coin is called "tails" because the obverse traditionally shows "heads" (relief images of famous people).
On the "heads" side of US coinage there is a date, that tells you when the coin was made.
The side or quarter toward which the wind blows is the lee quarter, or side. the side from which the wind is blowing is the windward quarter, or side.
The first US quarter dollars were minted in 1796. If your quarter has a picture of George Washington on one side, 1788 near the top of the other side, and it looks new, that's because it IS new. You have a State Quarter with two dates on it. 1788 is the date that the state was admitted to the Union, NOT the date the coin was minted! The minting date is at the bottom of the design on the back side. Nearly all State Quarters found in circulation have no extra value. Just a quarter, no more, no less.The US Mint did not start minting quarter dollars until 1796.The US Mint did not start minting quarter dollars until 1796.
