Question
Hi I have a 1964 two sided nickel. The head on side is upright and then on the other side its upside down. Do you know if this coin is worth anything besides 5 cents.
Ivette,
Sorry but this is not a misprint -- the coin was not made this way at the mint.
Somebody took two normal coins, altered them, and glued the pieces back together. Nowadays these are massed-produced for magic and novelty shops. You can also find dozens of them on eBay at any time.
Novelty value is a couple dollars.
Dan

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
