Coin with two backs

I have a coin found in my dad’s collection ton that has a wheat penny back on one side and a dime tower back in the other. Has anyone seen one of there, estimate a value?

Who can recommend a reputable person to grade some coins?

    This one is a prop for a relatively simple magic trick: "Look in my hand, a perfectly normal penny. Alakazam! Now it's a dime."
