    Are you saying you found a two headed coin?

    Many happy BST transactions

    Somebody has lots of time. I did some searching. It isn’t possible! But a nice addition to a album. Thinking a magician coin of some sort! I like it though. Looks like I won’t loose a heads bet! :)

    Magician’s coin or just an outright fake.

    Check the edge or along the rim on either side for a seam.

    Also, look like there is glue on it.

    Two different source coins.

    Probably started as authentic nickels.

    Then ground/sanded down reverses.

    Glue or soldered together. Sometimes they are made so that one half will fit into the other, i.e., check the rim on either side for a seam.

    Use goog; and there are plenty of vids on how to make them.

    Regardless, it is not a Mint error.

    yes, well aware! it could have been more clean. I will take it though! When I first started coin searching(3months ago) and didn’t know much about coins! A video of me finding it would of been great! :)

    If your football game goes into overtime, give this coin to the referee and call heads when he flips it in the air.

    Why were they always making two headed coins? Did anyone ever make two tailed coins? Seems the heads have always been more popular!!

    Nothing is impossible at the US Mint.
    There are 1970s proof coins struck on Barber quarters for chrissake.

    @ErrorsOnCoins
    Wasnt there a legit 2 headed nickel certified by PCGS a while back?

    Obviously a 'manufactured' coin... and some of them are done very well....A neat curiosity...I would keep it if I found it. Cheers, RickO

  • JimnightJimnight Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice find...but most likely a personal project for a person who works in a machine shop.
