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.

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.

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.
