Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Rare Quarter?

Question
I have a silver quarter. It has no date and no way to be termined what year made. It must be rare because it only shows the tail (back side of coin), it's a two sided silver coin. Is is worth anything?
Hi Denise, This is a 'magic coin' made by carefully fitting two halves of two different coins together. They can often be found in novelty or magic shops for a couple dollars. A seam on the edge may or may not be visible.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
