Yes it is a magicians coin and from time to time they show up for sale in coin magazines, as well as novelty catalogs. So far there is only one coin that has been authenticated to be a true double headed coin and it is an Indian head cent from the 1880's or 90's. As some one here said, they do from time to time get out into the community. They sell for $2-$5. It is actually more of a novelty, for most magicians coins are 2 tails and are different denominations, such as a cent on one side and a dime on the other. The reason they use the tail sides is there is no date. They hollow out the cent and insert the dime. They can do this real well. Anyway you have a piece of Americana and a conversation piece at that.

Lmfao, thats ******* sick. For starters you should either put it on eBay or go to an appraising website.
Or you could go downtown to one of those uber-special banks and get them to look at it. But WHATEVER YOU DO - Don't let them touch it. Because then they might confiscate it and you'll never know.
Another thing... check out a coin collector's shop or a coin museum. My mom bought this coin off of some crazy homeless person on the street and you could barely even see the engravings even though the guy kept it in like a leather pouch and it cost my mom $30 and it turns out that it is over like 200 years old or something. She got it appraised at the Royal Ontario Art Museum.

It's a magician's two-headed coin accidentally spent. It's not a mint error as two similar obverse die shafts won't fit into the presses. Two-headed coins are made outside of the mint using real coins; someone took two real quarters and hollow out one of them and inserted another trimmed and filed quarter into it. A well made magician's coin is difficlut to detect if you don't know what to look for. The coin doesn't have any numismatic value, but still a nice novelty item that you could have lots of fun with.

So-called Magician's coins (double headed or double tailed) are not produced by the mint. You can buy a very convincing looking coin (penny, nickel, dime, or quarter) at any magic shop for $5 or less. If I understand the minting process correctly. it would be impossible for this to be produced at the mint. The "heads" die literally won't fit it the coin press in the wrong position. These coins are created by taking two genuine coins, sawing them in half edgewise, and soldering the two halves. This would be why you see two copper layers and a silver (solder) layer at the center.
