"Wait...did I flip that coin?"

Interesting find. Someone found a penny not to long ago.

These are pretty cool, good convo pieces. I recently came across a double Reverse War nickle. It appears yours was hollowed out on one side, and the 2nd tails was fitted in there.
You can see this most apparent at the UNUM on Pic 2

I don't see the seam.

Most rotated dies or other coins you need to post a photo of the coin reflecting in a mirror showing both sides

This one is my newest "pocket piece". Showed it to the teller while dropping off a bag, and picking up another box. He passed it around to the other tellers to show it off while getting my box.

Well worth the $.05 I spent to find it.

I wasn't aware they made the "double tails" variety. I found a double-headed one several years ago... certainly a fun conversation piece to carry around!

Fun find.

I as well have a double head example from a roll search a few years back ... posted a photo as well.

Thanks for sharing.
