It's called a magician's coin, a novelty coin, or a fake.
It's made by cutting apart 2 genuine coins, swapping sides, and rejoining them using metalworking techniques. They sell for a few dollars in novelty shops but are of no value or interest to collectors because they're altered coins.
There is the probability of 1/2 if it is a fair coin. There is the probability of 1 if it is a double-headed coin. There is the probability of 0 if it is a double-tailed coin.
It's a novelty or magicians coin and has no collectible value.
It's a novelty or magician's coin, NOT a Mint error, it may also be a home-made glued together coin, none have any numismatic collectible value.
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.
It is possible. It is certain with a double headed coin. With a fair coin the event has a probability of 1 in 1048576 or approximately 1 in a million.
There is the probability of 1/2 if it is a fair coin. There is the probability of 1 if it is a double-headed coin. There is the probability of 0 if it is a double-tailed coin.
No. The only double headed coin to circulate in the US was an undated George Washington Cent minted sometime between 1783 and 1793.
JFK wasn't on the half dollar until 1964. If you have a double-headed coin with two different dates, it means someone cut up two coins and fastened them back together to make a trick coin.
No, all double headed coins (or double tailed coins) that are of a modern coin are privately made pieces. In modern mints ,it is impossible for a worker to insert 2 obverse (heads) dies, or 2 reverse (Tails) dies in the machine to strike a double heads/tailed coin the dies simply will not fit into the machine.
This is a novelty coin and was not made by the US Mint it has no numismatic collectible value.
Nearly all double-headed coins are fakes. And nearly all 1943 copper cents are fakes. Combine the two and it sounds to me like you don't have a real coin.
"Eagle" generally refers to a $10 gold coin, but those were not minted in 1979. The only coin bigger than a half dolar, minted in 1979, is the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. Is that what you have? If it's a double headed coin, then it's a novelty item, not made by the Mint, worth a couple dollars. Dan
It's a novelty or magicians coin and has no collectible value.
A coin stamped with 1789 with a profile of George Washington is not worth any monetary value. This type of coin was stamped privately and is commemorative.
You have a privately-made novelty item called a magician's coin. It sells for a couple of quid in a novelty shop, but has no value to a coin collector.
