While it is true that 99.99999 % of all two-headed or two-tailed are manufactured novelty coins - genuine examples do exist. But they are beyond rare.

To the best of my knowledge there has been a grand total of 1 two-tailed Washingtom quarter - 1 two-headed Indian Head cent - and I believe 1 dime - though I'm not sure of the series or the side off the top of my head.

The odds of a collector finding a genuine example of one of these coins are astronomical.
