Hi,

My name is Darren. I met an elderly man tonight that found a two tailed Indian penny while collecting money from a gum ball machine. He found it in the 1960s. It's the light colored penny made out of copper nickel. On both sides are a wreath, shield at the top, and one cent in the middle. Can this be a true error at the mint? Was this a magician's trick coin?

Thanks for any help

Hi there and to the forum.

The coin is unlikely to be a mint error.

My guess would be a Magician's coin, conversation piece or used to cheat people.

Photos would help as there may be a chance that the Obverse shows a full reverse brockage strike (rare but possissible)... Then the coin would have to be weighed if it is a brockage strike...
Without photos I would guess it's a post mint cent made with two half's...
