double headed walking liberty?

[Idaho hunter]

anyone know what a fake double faced walking liberty half 1942 might be worth.
I found a 1942 walking liberty half on both sides, looking at it thru a glass I can
see that it has been cut and another face put on it so it it is double faced. when I first
saw it I got real excited untill i checked it out . I don't know if it is worth anything
extra or not. anyone see one before or know what it might be worth.

Hmmm that sounds interesting. You could post a picture of it and ill bet these people will let you know for sure in less than 15 minutes.

Done from a regular coin I think you're out of luck other than maybe being worth a buck or two to fool someone with a coin flip.

As others said, it sounds like you have a privately manufactured novelty item, a magician's coin, made from two normal coins that were altered and glued together.

Modern 2-headed coins sell regularly on eBay for a couple dollars.

However, 2-headed Walking Liberty half dollars are pretty rare, so it should be worth more.

I have a double-headed 1972 quarter that I dug up, they are used for coin tosses. If you use a loupe and look closely, you can see where the reeded edge was glued back together....NGE

the very first large cent i found was double headed. one side is dated 1855, and the other is 1848. they seem to have been sanded down and soldered together.

"Two Face" from the Batman series used a two headed coin to make decisions. Obviously he would get the same answer, always.
