It depends on what you mean by "double dated". I can think of 3 possibilities:

# Many years ago it was common for the Mint to reuse coin dies from a previous year by simply repunching the date field. Sometimes a bit of the old date would show through; this is called an "overdate" or "overpunch" # On rare occasions the die used to strike a coin receives two impressions, slightly misaligned. This is called die doubling and most famously occurred on 1955 cents. See the related link below for a picture. # Or, you could be referring to a "two headed" or "two tailed" coin. These are novelty items made by cutting apart 2 real coins and joining the two fronts or backs. They look just like ordinary coins with two faces (or tails). They have no numismatic value.
