2 headed quarter has me curious

Good afternoon fellow curious coin nerds I’ve been doing quite well finding interesting coins in scrap cars at the impound lot where I work. Looking up, learning about, and hopes of treasure. Helps to fill my down time, and honestly peaked my interest.
Today I found a double headed quarter, with no date, and both D and P mint marks. Did some digging and even after learning that quarters like mine are not all that rare, my curious self needs to know more about double sided coins.
I know that Living in Denver I’m naturally drawn to coins from other mints, is it standard for double sided coins to have different mint marks? If there’s no date, how does the government know its circulation time and businesses know it’s legit currency. Also, I’ve read that some/most double sided coins are fakes, has there never been an actual doubled coin minted and sent out ito circulation?

@Kristen Nicole And from one Denver Chris to another...Hello, welcome to CT!

 

As stated, it's a magicians coin.

 

First state quarter I've seen. Cool!

 

If I worked there I'd keep my eyes peeled for any 1940's cars. That would be great if someone worked at a pick and pull and found a 1943 cent worth hundreds of thousands. Never mind me, just day dreaming here!

@yakpoo , I can get it for $8.95 , Not $19.99

 

That is correct. They are all fakes.

Not doubled, the correct word is double headed.

Yes only one.. a double headed nickel..

There are 3 double reverse US coins known according to the article.

 

This is an interesting read. I always assumed there was some physical difference between the Hammer and Anvil dies to prevent incorrect installation. Apparently that's not the case.

Welcome to CoinTalk Kristen!

 

Thank you!

 

It's a magician's coin. You might be able to see where it was put together on the edge of the coin. Nice find.

 

What's that in your hand, Paddyman?

 

A two headed coin!

 

Correct!
Depending on which coin I have each day I will tell the other person.."Heads I win, tails you lose!".. Think about that one!

 

Assuming it was real, it would be impossible to have a mint mark from Philadelphia, and a mint mark from Denver.
The good news is a magician's coin has a value of X # of dollars. (5-10?)

 

So therefore it can't be real

The chicken, or the egg?
