pbonard New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 01/07/2006 4:31 pm I just found a two headed 1984 Washigton quarter. Both sides are the obverse with no reverse! Looks like a mint error to me! Does anyone know how I can determine its value? It's condition is between Vf and XF. Thanks for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

I told him to just do a drop test to see if it was indeed real. (Drop the two-headed and a regular quarter). The two-headed made a lot more of a thud sound versus a chingy sound.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/07/2006 9:41 pm Hi pbanard Welcome to the forum !! Pics would be a great help !! are both sides the same date MM ? are they aligned as a coin or a medal ? does either side have any of the reverse of the coin visable? are both sides well centered ? The minting process is accomplished in such a way that it would be practically impossible for a coin to have two heads without some trace of the reverse, since one side of the coin is the striking die and the other the anvil die, meaning that one impression cannot occur without the other. I tend to agree that it is a Magicians coin, one coin being hollowed and the other milled both on the face and the rim to fit inside, some of these are done quite well and it takes some magnification looking at ine side or the other to see where they are joined.

Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 01/07/2006 9:51 pm Welcome!! I agree with the others, probably a Magician's coin. Look for a groove around the inside edge of the top of one side of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

The coin you are talking about...unless one side is mirrored and the devices, legend etc are incussed (brockage error)then more likely than not, you do have a Magicians coin. Post a scan of the coin and members here will tell you. Report this Post to the Staff
