Question
i have a 1973 penny with two heads stamped on it one is way smaller then the other and facing opposite direction is it worth anything
Hello Pat,
I have seen these items before. These coins are a novelty made with a regular cent and re-stamped with another machine after it left the U.S. Mint.
Unfortunately this has no collector value. Coin collectors want pristine unadulterated coins for their collection.
