Hey all,

I have a 1917 Wheat penny that has two different heads on it with 2 different dates. On one side it has Abraham Lincoln with 1917 and on the other side it has the I dian head of 1903. I can't seem to find a similar one like this anywhere on the internet

Winning a coin toss with this coin would probably be impossible. Why? Because most coin tosses are called "heads!" A two tailed coin would probably be a better winner coin for a coin toss. IMOHO
Rest in Peace

Try a coin toss and see if the Indian Head side comes up most often? The weight on one or the other side will be heavier. So it would tend to land on one side more than normal. (Try it and see the results?)

Ok, OP will have to try that and let us know which side comes up more being that they both weigh 3.11 grams . Hmm, this is going to be interesting .

On the Magic coins, one is a receipent and one is a donor.

Note the differences? So one side will have more weight than the other. So see if it affects the coin toss? (try several times and keep track)
