Yup. Misprints are always one-of-a-kind and are therefore very rare. You might want to check catalogs to see the actual market price of that coin that you have. lternatively, check eBay for similar items and see how much THOSE are going for so that you have an idea of how much you should sell your coin.
It would also be good to have it authenticated first. It costs you a bit of cash, but it adds to your veracity, and collectors would not hesitate to transact with you (a lot of them fear fakes). :)

There was an article (back in the late 80's or early 90's) in one of the big magazines (Wall Street Journal, Changing Times or Money) about a double headed quarter I have but this double headed quarter had 1984 on one side and 1965 on the other. it was an actual misprint according to the magazine I read. They said I think 80 or so of them had been printed before they realized it. No coin collector Ive talked to since I obtained mine (a couple of years ago) knows anything about it but Im keeping it anyway because i know for sure I read about it. I used to keep those old magazines and papers like that but got rid of them in 2003.

It's a mint mistake, which is often worth a little bit more to collectors. The condition of the coin makes a big difference. Find out if there is a coin store in your area, and ask them. It might be worth a lot more if you seal it in plastic, and hang on to it for about 30 years.

Are you teasing us? 1980 with a 1982? If it were real it would be worth a few grand. But I doubt it. I have a 1994 penny that has absolutly no copper showing on it. Bright shiny zinc. Do I take it seriously? No. I think somewhere some one played with it. It is perfect in appearance.

It is not a mint issue but a novelty item. It is not possible to have had it done at the mint, do to the system used there. It could also be a magicians coin as well as a way to make sure one wins a bet. They are a great conversation item as well as a way to win bets, if one does not get caught.

wow you are one lucky man.
sometimes if you are lucky..... like i know someone who had a Wisconsin quarter without the symbol of cheese and they got it sold for like 10300 dollars. You should definetly sell it. Its not going to go up in value but you will get heck of a lot of money on it depending on the buyer. Some people are collectors and they buy it for ALOT!!!

Maybe not millions but its rare so I bet you can sell it to a collector for a chunk of change. I don't know how much exactly because i don't know how rare it is. You should auction it off on e-Bay. Good luck!
