Thank You Ken for the reference on the video, and information. That was cool! I am still going to download photo of edge and rim, as whoever made this did one heck of a job. Just want second and third opinions. Never know, some employee may have done this un purpose for a joke. One side definitely has a different rim appearance, but it is so slight. Photos to come.

Note on this one how the coins were put together:  Note the rim on the rim of the reverse? This is what they look like before they put them together:  Sometimes they are altered with reducing the two coin by making them thinner:    |

At least they used the same date and mint mark. Looks real phoney when they don't.

Thanks to all, the best part of this find is that my friend started looking at her coins after I told her what I do with coins and she found the double headed nickel....now she may be hooked on coins, which I think is great! Thanks all for your advice. I looked in the photography sections for how to tweek my Iphone, could not find it...will keep looking.

Maybe one of these would help? I got one from Lighthouse but have not had the occasion to try it yet. I saw a guy at a show with one set up to shoot a Mintmark. Seemed Ok for that. At 60x it has its limitations. I got it on special for $10.  Edited by koinpro

That would probably be handy at a coin show.
