Just wondering if this Two Headed Nickel will sell for $100,000,00 ?  Also wondering how PCGS arrived at MS-65 grade? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/272517...272517757638United States 2000-P Jefferson nickel Struck with Two Obverse Dies, PCGS MS65 By Mike Byers for Mint Error News ...... This is the only known U.S. regular-issue coin of ANY denomination that was struck with two obverse dies (two-headed). It stands alone as a major U.S. numismatic rarity and proves that a United States two-headed coin exists! There are three known U.S. regular issued coins struck with two reverse dies. Fred Weinberg sold a two-tailed Washington quarter for $75,000 USD and a two-tailed Roosevelt dime for $45,000. The third known two-tailed was a Washington quarter that sold in a Heritage auction for $41,975. Weinberg stated that: "This amazing unique major mint error is the only known U.S. two-headed coin. It is very dramatic since both sides are identical, having been struck with two obverse dies." Edited by Chase007

I checked the PCGS site to verify the certification. It is bogus. "We're sorry. That PCGS Cert Number was not found in our database. Please double check the number and try again." The coin is a fake. The obverse and reverse dies are made with different key ways . That is one die is made with a protruding key way, the other die is made with a recessed key way. In other words, there isn't a possibility of a worker placing two obverse dies into a machine. The one die just cannot be inserted into the stamping press.

Thank you Spence,
My questions were answered on that thread.I did research if there were any topics on this Two headed Nickel,I guess I didn't find it since the title on the old thread started with #2 instead TWO.

Legit coin and legit dealer. Clearly this was a case of mint sport and mint employee shenanigans. I think any serious error collector recognizes this and as such I don't feel this coin will sell for even close to the current asking amount. The suspicious circumstances about how this coin was made will always be a stigma as opossed to mules such as the dollar/quarter ones in 2000.

It is listed on the PCGS site: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/81049724No images though, but the description fits. Probably one of the mint employees coins he created before he got caught a few years back. |

I stand corrected. I entered the entire string instead of the last eight digits on the PCGS verification web page. From now on I'll stick to coin roll hunting and Coinstar machine searching.

That statement surprises me. It is NOT the only two headed US coin. There is also a two headed 1859 Indian Head cent that has been known for quite some time. |
