What is the value of a double headed nickel that is dated 1989 on one side and 1990 on the other? |
Answer
You have what's known as a "Magician's Coin".
This is NOT something that was done at the Mint.
This was made by altering two normal coins and gluing the altered pieces back together. Use a magnifier to check just inside the rim on one side of the coin -- you are looking for the seam where the two pieces were joined -- it could be on either side of the coin.
This novelty item sells regularly on eBay.com for a couple of dollars.
I hope this helps,
