Error Nickel 1992/1995

Hi, I got this nickel from a vending machine, and noticed that it has 2 head sides (rather than a heads and a tails). I checked it very carefully; it's not a special printing or anything.

One side has Jefferson, "In God We Trust", "Liberty", and the date 1992. The other side, off-set by a little more than 90 degrees, has Jefferson, "In God We Trust", "Liberty", and the date 1995.

Yes, two different dates. I haven't taken a picture of it, but the description above pretty much covers it.

I've never seen a coin like this, and therefore I have no idea if it is worth anything or not. Any ideas?

Thanks!

magicians trick coin. Look very closely at the rim to see where one coins was machined out and the other inserted.

 

Welcome Rog!,

Here is a double headed one with envelope it came in from Littleton Coin Co.

Here's one I made.

I was at first doubtful, but it looks like that could be right. The edge is solid, but one side has a more distinctive rim, where it looks like one might have been inserted into another.

That's a shame; I guess it's worth about, oh, 5 cents then.

it can be worth a whole lot, if you use it to flip for who buys when you go out.

 

If it is that well made, It is worth $5 - $10. Get the 10 posts and put it on the open section to sell.
