<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 367711, member: 4626"]Well that's definitely the pertinent question. A genuine two-tailed quarter has in fact been discovered and authenticated before... so it is not impossible that a genuine two-headed quarter may exist. Unlikely, but not impossible. (Though it's impossible with current Mint equipment to match two tails or two heads together, since the dies are keyed in a way that can't happen. Hasn't always been the case though...)</p><p><br /></p><p>If a reputable TPG confirms it as a genuine error, yes that would be pretty valuable. Only 4 genuine US tail/tail or head/head mules have ever been discovered as far as I know (and only about a dozen or so non-US ones for that matter). Chances are she probably found a magician's coin... but there remains a very small, but not zero, chance she has a genuine head/head mule. If so I'm sure it will be big news in the numismatic world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
