zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 12:29 pm I found this in my late fathers collection. Thought it would be interesting. I know there are some out there. But don't know about this date? The reverse is rotated about 10 deg.. Maybe I should be more clear? It is a two headed LM. How would I post a few second video of this coin? Then there will be believers. My batteries in camera died. I am waiting for them to recharge. This is the best I can do for now. I did not think to take a edge shot. I will also take a close up on the inside of the rim. There is no seem guys. It is an old coin my father had. The most at that time they would have cut two coins and put them together. There is no edge seem, around the planket or inside the rim. It truly is a two headed coin. I guess this one to send in and get authenticated?

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 12:36 pm Could you show a photo of the edge. This looks like 2 coins with the reverse sanded away and glued together. Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 12:37 pm Looks like someone made it. They werent that great at it either. I seen some that were very hard to tell it was fake Maybe someone was just bored.You should be able to see a seam. Unless they took the center out of the reverse and thats why the other side looks like that Either way its PMD Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 1:00 pm Looks like a seam in the second shot. I don't doubt for one minute that it has two heads on it. It's just how did it get there. Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 1:22 pm Its not doubt. Its not made that way at the mint. Its man made after the mint. They take out the middle at the rim, inside of the rim, then put the other one in there that they took off another coin. Weigh it. It wont weigh what it should. I guarantee it will peel apart with some effort. Since its your fathers collection I wouldnt touch it. Just something to talk about or play with kids with it. Its a novelty coin. That is where its seamed. It doesn't have LIBERTY and it looks like it has some bondo on it in that area because its was peeled off another coin. The corrosion on there is because it has air under it. There IS 2 headed coins (Real Ones) but they are flipped over double stamped where you can see the original image with the other over top of it.

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 1:42 pm I wouldnt waste money to get it sent back "body bagged". Maybe Chuck will word it better but it will all come down to it being damaged Edited by Kloccwork419 05/03/2009 1:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 2:45 pm As has already been said, this is a trick coin as it would essentially be an impossible error. The corrosion around the rim has formed along the seam. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 12:45 am Hi, No doubt about it being a damaged, faked, two-headed coin. It is the old shell concept, one coin is hollowed out and another is made to fit into the shell. The separation of the two parts is easy to see. As noted, the second picture shows the corrosion working its way into or out of the seam above the motto. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 11:27 am I agree with Bill and the others who said it is an alteration. There are no genuine two headed Lincoln cents. Report this Post to the Staff
