I recently found a 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Error Coin. This coin was minted with Heads on Both sides. Was wondering if anyone knows what it might be worth?

A few years ago I found a dime with 2 heads I was told it's imposible for the mint to strike a 2 headed or 2 tales coin. What happens is someone uses a jewelers saw and cuts 2 coins in half then gules the 2 heads together and then the 2 tales together. The one I had was imposible to see where it was glued together thats how good the cut was. Since then I have seen them for sale for a few dollars.

that's correct there are no 2 headed or 2 tailed error coins

I have 3 "magician" halfs. One is silver. They are made by hollowing out the tails side of a coin right up to the rim, then cutting down a similar coin just enough for it to fit inside. If you run your finger across each of the flat sides to the edge, I bet you will feel one of those sides is a little "sharp" at the edge. That is the cut-down coin inside the larger coin. Then use magnification and try to see if if you can see a seam somewhere around the rim. I was told by Highroller than it WAS possible for there to be a 2 headed coin from the mint, but magician coins are much more likely. I am keeping mine; I am not sure what their value is; certainly more than 50 cents. I hope to find a few more -----
