TWO HEADED Indian Cent !!:shocked:

[drkp88]

I went back to my IH park for a couple hours last sunday. I found a couple IHs and wheats. When I got to cleaning them a bit I got a shock! I looked at one of the IHs - 1889. When I flipped it over to look at the back, ANOTHER Indian was staring back at me!! What the ***!? Was I seeing things? Could this be some kind of an error? Then I looked at the edge and I could see a seam. This cent was found at about 6 inches - this means that around 100+ years ago someone took the time to sand down two 1889 IHs and bond them together to make a two-headed cent!
Also found an 1890 IH and two wheats - 1919 and 1926.
Thanks for sharing. Bruce

PS - I found a super find for myself yesterday but I want to get more detailed info before I post it. STOKED!

Neat finds! I've seen two headed coins used in magic tricks. Yours is about the oldest one I've seen. HH
