Question
what is a 1971 eisenhower with a head on both sides worth?
Hi Laura,
Technically, it is impossible for the mint to produce such a coin simply because of the method of striking; The front and back are struck simultaneously.
Look for a seem around the rim. I would bet that the coin was altered. You can buy 2 headed coins in novelty and magic shops for about $8
