Question
I just found a 2 headed ( head on each side) 1964D Penny.
How much is it worth?

Thanks
Sandy

Answer
Hello, Sandy, these are magicians' novelty pieces, put together by hollowing out one cent and putting another inside it.  You should be able to tell this was done because there should be a seam on the edge where the two pieces were put together.  They are mainly for magician's tricks.  They sell for a bit of a premium but like most things that you buy at a store for your own use, there is really little market for you to sell it back to anyone.  Try going to www.ebay.com and doing a search for two headed cent or two headed penny or magician penny etc. and you may see a couple for sale and if so what the asking and offered prices are, Jim Lawniczak
