ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DOUBLE HEADED QUARTERS? -Leana

Well yesterday my Husband and I were visiting Penny at the Hospital and the vending machine kept spitting his quarter back out at him. So he looked closer at it and on each side of it has two heads. The most unusual thing about it is that one side is dated 1981, the other side is dated 1993 that's an 11 year gap. Then we thought maybe it was a trick coin, but it weighs and looks the same other than that glitch. I was just wondering if anyone knew about this.

*hugs*

About that two-headed quarter!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 6th, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you wondering about a quarter you found in your change, with 2 heads?? (and no tails!) Read on, we get this question all the time;

Is the two headed quarter legal tender? I have one and I thought it was a mistake by the mint. Now I'm wondering if it isn't manufactured in someone's basement. What's the deal?

-Confused Oilrigger In Nebraska

Well, C.O.I.N., These two headed quarters are made by an old novelty company back east, they've been doing it since the 1950's. The tipoff is that the sides will be from different years. They are careful to use 2 coins of the same condition, and finish the edges, so it's just about impossible to tell that it wasn't minted that way. Here's a link to buy one (or more) if anyone is intrigued by all this; Get your own Two Headed Quarter to win that toss!
