[*mrgrizz*]

Probably zero, zilch, not very good Stawks.

I remember as a little girl going through my grandmother's money boxes looking for a 1930 penny....needless to say, I never found one.

An older close reli was an avid coin collector as a child. He has a nice 1930 penny tucked away in the bank.

I remember as a young school kid I found a double headed coin in my change. Not sure what it was but I had fun winning bets in the school yard with it. It didnt last long as I either lost it or spent it. As a kid I didnt realise it was probably very valuable. I also had a four leaf clover as a book mark for awhile.

The doubleheaded-double tailed coins,generally pennies ,that were around in predecimal days were the result of workshop tooling. This 2007 double headed 5 cent is the result of tomfoolery at the Mint so it is a genuinely struck coin. The home made double headers have minimal curio value.
