  I counted over 10 SHQs and more if you include the spouse eagles.

  I was going to comment about that but then it seems only the SHQs and Bi-Centennial Dummer Boy were designed for circulation

  There are very few US minted coins that do not have 2 heads, if you count the eagles head.......

  My OP was prompted by a recent purchase of a Lewis and Clark dollar.
  
  It got me thinking about how many have been minted. So if we say a true double headed coin, where the primary device is a bust, how many?

  There is endless controversy over which is the obverse of the Oregon Trail half dollar. The early publicity pictures from 1926 showed the wagon side as the obverse, but apparently some publishers thought it cute to place the Native American to the left with his hand out as if to say "STOP!" to the wagon, and over the years many people mistook that side as being the obverse.

  The pres. bucks have the Statue of Liberty on the reverse or obverse?
  
  but, in this splitting hairs discussion, Congress actually does not participate because they mandated that Liberty's head not be so large as to make the coin two headed.
  
  So, as far as eagles, statues and other likenesses, can you really call them two headed coins?
  
  PS: next coin flip use a memorial cent and call the side with Lincoln on it. Both sides have Lincoln on it. ;P
