Not to me. It looks like one side was machined.

 

No. These are "magicians coins" and are made from two genuine coins.

 

It's most likely an altered coin created from two genuine coins. See https://www.cointalk.com/threads/two-headed-two-tails-coins.1561/

 

what would it be worth if it was genuine.
thank you for your input.

 

here is some new pictures...maybe this will help

 

The seam where these were stuck together is obvious. Can you not see the circle that goes around the other reverse design?

I'm unaware of any being found ever so, pretending yours is real, it would be impossible to figure out a worth because none have been sold before.

How yours was made - someone machined out part of the obverse of your coin. Then they took another one, cut away the rest of the coin and made it small enough to fit in the hole. After that they stuck the two coins together.

 

Do you really think there could be a genuine one?!

 

I wouldn't speculate because it literally can't be an unaltered product of an official mint. The minting process itself makes that impossible.

 

thank you all for your reply. I must also ask , if for let say , there was a genuine specimen , would it be worth to be published in the" World's greatest Mint errors " ? I have seen some excellent examples of double tail and double head coins before. For example , there was these 2 US quarters that sold for about 80k each I believe and two specimen of a 1980 1 Canadian cent double tail that went for about 30K each. I also remember about 5 years ago when there was a 1 euro cent that was discovered that went for over 1k until more came around which caused a drop of price of course to about 200-300 US a piece. a euro set up to the 50 cent was also discovered graded by ANACS, not sure what that set was sold for but I bet someone made a really good profit there. Anyone know of any other double tail/double tail stories ? and let say there was a genuine 2 Euro , if you were the appraiser, what would appraise at?
thanks again for your input.

 

Would this be the 4 Euro,the King of Double tail , the highest denomination coin currency out of any denomination productions for circulation in the World?

 

Sorry, this coin did not come from the mint this way. This coin has been obviously altered. It is probably only worth two euro because you could still pass it off when buying something. I wouldn't pay for it. I also wouldn't pay for a U.S. coin that has two reverses.

 

Actually, real Euro mules do exist. I believe this is the most "common":



It's currently on the market for $650.

 

Very nice example , Love it! thanks for sharing Old error Guy.

 

why only 2 euro? I thought that if this was a magician coin than it would be worth the Magic price, no? what do they go for , those 2 Euro Magician coin in these days anyways? and yes,I agree with the 2 quarters that were human made, they were not genuine and error printed by the Mint machine. So would you say that the above item , the 1 Cent is genuine and was created by a malfunction of a press machine or human JWT?

 

Got me. Good luck.

 

The odds of a two-tail coin being minted today are about one in 27 billion, said Matt Kilbourne, a U.S. Mint spokesman.
People should not get their hopes up that they have a real one. They are truly one of a kind."
you maybe right Jwt708. it maybe just a Magician trick coin, a pure Fantasy.I mean, what are the odds really LMAO.
Anyone else out there who has some story to tell or show and tell or another opinion on this 4 Euro?
thanks for your input, I'm really enjoying this one.

 

What's going on here? Looks like the OP has had this conversation before:

Just a suggestion...You should not touch the surface of ANY coin...even with gloves.

 

I not only used Coton gloves which is lot cleaner than using my fingers but I also only handled the coin by the edges as you can see. The oils on your hand are an undesirable method I believe. The fact is that by the time you wash your hands and get all excited about looking at a coin, getting to your coin with your heart beating at who knows what accelerated beat, surely enough your skin would transpirate up to a point of new accumulation of oil going through your pores ,hence the gloves works fine for me.
