There has never been one authenticated, so it is impossible to estimate a value. You almost certainly have a magician's coin made by cutting apart and swapping the sides of 2 genuine quarters. In that case it's worth a couple of bucks in a novelty shop but has no interest to coin collectors.
It's not a real quarter. These were novelty items given out as promotional items.
You have a novelty item called a magician's coin. It's not real.
Look at the date again. NO Washington quarter should have a date before 1932. Double headed and double tailed coins are called magician's coins and are made by machining and joining parts from two real quarters. They have no numismatic value but are sold by novelty shops for $5 - $10 and are available on eBay for $2 - $3.
It's not a real coin and it's not from 1797. Two-headed (or tailed) coins are called "magician's coins". They're made by cutting two genuine coins in half using jeweler's tools and then swapping the sides. It's considered to be an altered or damaged item with no numismatic value. However no US quarters were minted in 1797 and no modern State Quarters carry that date either, so it's probably not even made from a genuine US coin.
No. The US Mint did not produce any quarter dollars in 1933.

The same as all other double-headed coins - nothing. It's a trick coin sold at novelty shops for a couple of bucks. It's not real and has no value to collectors.

You can test if a quarter is real silver by using a magnet; silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not real silver. You can also look for the date on the coin: quarters minted before 1965 are made of 90% silver, while those minted after are made of a copper-nickel alloy.
No. U.S. quarters minted in 1965 and later are mostly copper with nickel coating.
The value of real estate depends primarily upon its location.
No real value beyond face unless proof. Some value added to 76 for obvious reasons.
$8.95 at a novelty shop. These are made outside the mint by cutting down two real coins.
no they are not real they are all fake

They are novelty coins, manufactured for the novelty or illusionist/magician's industry. They're made by altering two normal coins and gluing the pieces back together. If you use a strong magnifier, you can probably find a seam just inside the raised rim on one side of the coin, or around the edge. Technically, they don't have any value except when someone wants one and is willing to pay for it. You can buy them in novelty shops for about $8, or on eBay for $2-$3. Sometimes people will spend their two headed coin without remembering that it isn't a real quarter. One WikiAnswers user claims to have made to a coin collection place in Detroit who said they had a real one that is selling for $100,000, if it is authentic. Sadly, no two-headed quarter has ever been certified as an authentic mint error, though one two-tailed quarter has been certified as an authentic mint error. This means that, in theory, a two-headed quarter with the same date on both sides could be authenticated, but the chances are more in favor of it being the manufactured novelty/magician's coin. Unless it's a genuine mistake that occurred in the mint, it's probably worth a few bucks at most. Two-headed quarters are often sold in magic and gag gift shops.
