Question
Hello. I was at work today counting all the money after my shift and I came across a two-headed quarter. One side reads 1985, and the other reads 1991. Would this two headed quarter be of any value?
Hi Roxie, 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.
