Question
i got a two headed quarter the other day at taco bell and i was woundering if it was worth anything its a 1996 and both sides have a p on them
thank you steve
The coin is likely a gaffe, created for magicians to use. I don't believe there are any known double-headed/tailed Washington quarters that have left the Mint any time recently (or ever for that matter...that I'm not sure about though). If it was a true error, it would have no seams around the edge of the rim or a seam around the very edge of the coin. A true error coin could be worth many thousands of dollars of this type but I know of none in existence for that coin type.

Expertise
I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.
Experience
I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
