It is a trick.

Did you get it from a store as change? If you did, those people are dumb! for not seeing it when someone gave it to you.

Check if it says legal tender though, if it does save it and it could be worth something later.

There is a double headed penny worth around 3million.

It’s a fabricated coin people use to win bets. They say "I’ll pick tails" and it comes up tails when it is tossed.

No magic trick coin would have the word ‘Issued by US Government’ or ‘US Mint’ or ‘Federal Treasury’ or ‘Reserve Bank’ on it. It’s downright illegal, like counterfeiting paper money. Thats one way to know if it came out of the Mint.

If it is, you got yourself a rare item.

look for the obvious mint marks( e. pluribus unum etc.) if in doubt take it to a coin collector for help but if it is real dont let them cheat you out of it. it could be worth thousnds of dollars

A novelty item. Like a magic coin or something. I have a two-headed penny in a case, but you can easily take it out. Someone probably paid with the dime to be funny and most likely no one noticed. Keep it and trick people with it. If you sell it you’ll only get like $2.45. It’s cool, but not really valuable.

It could be either a trick coin, or something worth a significant amount of money.

Trick coins are sometimes VERY well made. To be sure, take it to a coin dealer, and have them check it.

Good luck on having a rare, worth-a-lot-of-money coin. If it’s a trick coin… maybe you can learn to use it as a magic coin and make some money that way!

Hi:

Normally I would agree with the other answer’es . It a trick coin. However the U.S. Treasury Dept Does make defective or Misprint coins that do get past inspection but it happen very rarely and Rarely do they make a make Double sided coin that has both Heads or tails that get past There inspection of Quality Control. Usually 99.995 cent of the time they’ll catch it before it’s even get out the door and have it destroyed. However if it is a real genuine coin that was made that way and it got past there inspection than it’s worth a lot of money to the right coin collector. Take it to a coin dealer and see if a genuine coin or not. and you can go from there.

I hope this helps.
