Coin and Paper Money Collecting/two sided eagle dollar

Question
I have a silver dollar that has a eagle on both sides and if u flip it the eagle is upside down and has no year on it.  

Answer
Hi Chris,
You don't say what year the silver dollar is.  There are a number of aftermarket companies that take 2 coins, split them and reglue them as novelty pieces.  I am not saying that this is definitely what you have but there is a good chance of it.
Look around the rim for a seam.  Otherwise, I would have to see the coin to determine authenticity before we could value it.  Feel free to contact me at JoeHylas@aol.com
