I could not find much about two headed coins. Pretty much everything I read indicates that it is a fake coin. Anyone have any input...

Any yellow background on the photo is one side and the white background is the other side.

I do see some funny looking edges on the one side.

Magic coin , hollowed out one side on lathe and shave down another coin and fit them together . there is a thread on them here somewhere. I have a 2 headed 1964 US quarter.

Yes, not possible by mint because the dies are keyed. The heads will not be able strike together. I found a double headed nickel that both sides weren't even the same year. Another way to tell it's a fake (which all are) is the weight of the coin.

I do know there was a legit two reversed quarter. But this is a Magicians coin.

Drop on a table. Look near the rim to see the seam.

That is a really cool idea which just went onto my list of suggested methods for certain things.

Magician's coins are usually joined at the edge of the rim, not in the middle of the rim. The join line in this case appears the be at the botton of the rim. Almost an interference fit, and very well done.

Check for weight and comparative ring tone against a known genuine nickel.

Definitely has a different ring tone when dropped. More solid sound without the "ping".
