Have you figured out the second head fake?


As the person I am now, I never saw the second head so which means it is really faked. Maybe it’s a coin that have been faked The way that fake two-headed and two-tailed coins are made isn't what you'd expect, which is why many people who find them are reluctant to accept the truth about them. They are not made by cutting two coins in half and then sticking the halves together, which is why you won't see a seam along the edge giving the coin away.
Instead, two-headed coins are made by hollowing out the centre of one coin, leaving the edge and heads side intact, and then shaving down a second coin so that it fits snugly inside the shell of the first. You need a fair amount of skill at metalworking to accomplish this, not to mention all of the proper tools, but the result is a clever deception that is hard to detect with the naked eye.
