2. I think it might be pretty valuable, actually.
Hope so, anyway!

But don't forget to pick heads. :evilgrin:

5. Thanks to Bush's enviromental policies, I expect two-headed everything...
...to become the norm.

7. Get it appraised
and at more than one coin shop. Might well be worth something.

8. Is it real?
Or is it a gag thing? I have seen two-headed quarters, but they aren't real.

If you have a US-minted two-headed nickel, you'd better save that sucker--some of those coin collectors out there would pay a small fortune for it.

:toast:

9. I think that has to be a gag coin
Aren't both sides of a coin struck at the same time?

10. Just asked my husband who
collects coins. He said it would be a novelty coin.

11. Probably came from a magic store
But it can still be valuable. Whenever you're out to eat with friends, say, "Let's see who pays for dinner. Call it!" Flip the coin. If they call tails, show them it's heads. If they call heads, grab the coin and pocket it and say, "Just kidding. I only wanted to see if you were sports or not."

More times you do this, the closer you'll get to only having to pay for 50% of your meals when out to eat. :)

13. I believe that would be the same odds
as if you used an honest coin.

14. Good point
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 09:00 AM by TlalocW
But this way, you're never out any money other than having to pay for your own meal half the time.

12. As lucky as rubber barf...
...or fake doggie poo.

Does it squirt water, too?
