Who knows what year it Is but. It is completely rotaded die. And Both the obverses of the quarter! This is great!!
dont really wanna be the one to burst your bubble, but, its most likely a two headed quarter made for novelty, www.ebay.com/p/Double-Sided-Quarter-Heads-Two-Headed-Coin-Made-From-Real-Quarters/2007687640?iid=231976573231&chn=ps i have one also and a few two headed nickels...cool find tho..
You do know that's been altered right? See the seam in the middle pic, it's been hollowed or scraped out and replaced with another coin's obverse. It does show you're on your toes in catching it, too bad it's not even worth a quarter now although I'm sure you could spend it if you wanted to.
I'm thinking its a magicians coin... see if you're able to separate the halves of the coin. I've read here that if you freeze the coin and drop it on the edge it'll separate.
As mentioned above, it's a man-made novelty item. They are made in quantity on machines (I've seen them) that hollow out the (in this case) the reverse of one coin, and the cut-out Obverse of another coin is placed into the hollowed out reverse of the first coin. I can see the seam too -
It's a very very tight fit. You can see the seam going around it on the 2nd picture of the more battered up head. Notice how both sides don't have the same amount of damage too? Here's a more obvious example, and how to make one ==> it's easy to make if you have a metal lathe. or this two headed Canadian quarter =>
Notice the "seam" going around on the face of the quarter near the rim. Usually they have a "catch" point that you can easily separate the two. Briefly looking at it I don't see a catch point. But above the U in United and under the T in Quarter it looks like it was opened there many times with a pin or something. Also, review the Minting process, and try to think of "how" this could have happened in the minting process ??
Now I'm squeezing the coin I hear a little pop in there. It's like a cracking sound. Lol I thought it was something cool lol.
it is something cool. Depending upon the depth of the coin you can make them to put stuff in them. Like space for a dime, or a little micro SD card, a note, etc.
