    I recently found a double-headed quarter, one side with a 1966 date and no mint mark, the other with 1991 and a Denver mint mark, both struck on the same blank, a sandwich copper core. Has anyone ever seen such a coin and is there a specific value for it. See photo

    No specific value... it's a magician's coin, and possibly home-made at that. See the rim on the 1966 side (not to mention they cut off part of the date)?

    To buy a "real" one, it'd cost you a few bucks, and it would hopefully come with a "bang ring" to take it apart. I have a half dollar one I've tried to sell a few times with no luck.

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Heath!

    Try Googling "Magician's Coin".

    By the way, it is always advisable to check the date that the thread was posted. This one is more than 6-1/2 years old.
