Reports No Millionaires from Two Headed Quarters in 2006
Melville, New York, October 1, 2007 – Established in 1999,
Coinland.com, located in New
York, is a pioneer in the coin collecting business. The company
announced today that after assessing values of two headed quarters
they have not found any resulting millionaires.
Individuals find these two headed quarters in circulation and hope
that they've found some extremely rare government mint error. They
then have a company like Coinland.com assess the true value of the
two headed quarter only to learn that their coin is not genuine and
is worth very little, usually between $5 to $15, depending on how
well it's made and what the face value of the coin is.
Two-headed quarters found in circulation or purchased at swap meets
are not made by the U.S. Mint. Rather they have been created as a
novelty device, used in magician's tricks, or for pranks.
There have been anecdotal reports of 2 genuine two-headed quarters
found in the safety deposit box of a deceased San Francisco mint
worker. Even if these tales are true, it is a sure thing that no
two-headed U.S. coins could ever possibly have entered circulation.
Allan Rosenberg, Coinland.com President states, "The U.S. Mint has
built-in protections against accidentally making coins that have the
improper die rotation or die setup. The shaft of the dies are made
to be a certain size and shape, so that they will only fit into the
coin presses a predetermined way. Consequently, any two-headed U.S.
coin you find in pocket change is a novelty item. A surefire way to
tell if the two headed quarter is fake is to bounce it on the
surface and hear the hollow sound. Because a fake two headed quarter
is basically hollow."
Gary E. Haffer, Director of Sales and Marketing at SpiderSplat,
states, " Coinland.com is a unique entity on the web by not only
offering coins but also providing full service for all your other
coin needs and an unheard of 30 day return policy while they are
committed to providing quality coins at competitive prices.“
Coinland.com sells two headed quarters and a huge selection of other
coins and coin collecting material.
