Not like you think. It sounds like a trick coin because the dates are different.
If the eagle is under the face on one side then you might have something, though. Mint mistakes, especially of that magnitude can go for lots of money.

That coin is a rare one. What makes coins of any kind rare is 1 of 2 things. 1) The coin isn't made any more (examples being Indian Head pennies and Buffalo Nickles {The original ones not the new ones}). And 2) There is some sort of misprint on the coin (examples being the one that you have or a pennie that doesn't have the mints initials on it {i have a seen a 1972 missing D Deleware penny go for $500}). The best thing for you to do is to go to a collectors shop of some kind and if he can't tell you the value of that coin then he will be able to tell you who can. Or he would have a book that will the list the value of various coins and that may be on there. Good luck to ya.

It is a novelty item, it could not be a mint item. Things just don't work that way at the mint. There is only one, at least as far as I know real coin that is two headed and it is an Indian Head cent from the 1800's. I have heard of no others that have been authenticated. Having 2 different dates and both sides with no damage is impossible. It is worth $5-$20 as a novelty. It is also a great conversation item.

If it's is a genuine quarter you bet your bottom dollar it is valuable.
Take it to a coin dealer and ask them. Keep it safe until you find out for sure. Hope it's worth a bundle for you.

Heads you win, heads I lose. Flip this coin and always call "Heads." Can't lose. Novelty item.

it probably is because it is a rare foul up. go to a local appraiser or the local bank to find out its value
