Could It Be A Real Double Headed Nickel?

No it isn't real. One side is a shell, the other an inserted smaller obverse milled and ground down. Look under high magnification, you will see a small gap near one rim at some place or another. Otherwise it is cast. This can't happen at the mint in the process.

I would say no as to a shell coin. If it was cast it is a pretty good job. On a seriuos note though, please explain to me how this could definately not happen at the mint. I.E.: An employee fooling around with 2 different obv. dies etc. ?
You can plainly see that both obv's are not from the same die. Just curious as I do not know if the press could be set up to accept
two obverse dies.

Oh yea, Duh. I'm tired :)
Regardless of the die rotations one would still be inverted.
Thanks, now I'm awake :)

Really good job then on an edge seam. I could not see it.
These people have way too much time on their hands.
There fun to own anyway. I would rather just find one in circ.
or go to the store to buy one than make it.
Gotta run, working on a merc. dime. Super glue should be dry by now "_

That explanation makes no sense.

One problem you would have is that the hammer and anvil dies are shaped differently. The anvil die has a much longer neck because that die has to rise up an push the coin out of the collar after striking. If you put two hammer dies into the press, when you try to strike the coin the dies can't reach each other to strike the coin. And even if they could the lower die would not be able to push the coin out of the collar. If you put two anvil dies in the press you may have the opposite problem in that the upper die may not be able to retract enough to allow a planchet to enter the collar. And if it could, it you didn't lower the pressure by retracting the die even further, you run the risk of severe damage to the dies and maybe the press because at the bottom of the stroke the die faces would be wanting to pass through each other even without a planchet between them. Put a planchet there and you're going to break something.

Another reason varies depending on the time period and the type of press being used. During some periods the shape of the obv and reverse die bodies were different and an hammer die would not fit into the opening for an anvil die and vice versa.

This is why I always call HEADS! on coin flips.....
