Are you serious? $100 for a quarter?
According to WIki pages here is the scoop on 2 headed quarters:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_two-headed_US_quarter
They are novelty coins, manufactured for the novelty or illusionist/magician's industry. They're made by altering two normal coins and gluing the pieces back together. If you use a strong magnifier, you can probably find a seam just inside the raised rim on one side of the coin, or around the edge.
Technically, they don't have any value except when someone wants one and is willing to pay for it. You can buy them in novelty shops for about $8, or on eBay for $2-$3.
Sometimes people will spend their two headed coin without remembering that it isn't a real quarter.
One WikiAnswers user claims to have made to a coin collection place in Detroit who said they had a real one that is selling for $100,000, if it is authentic. Sadly, no two-headed quarter has ever been certified as an authentic mint error, though one two-tailed quarter has been certified as an authentic mint error. This means that, in theory, a two-headed quarter with the same date on both sides could be authenticated, but the chances are more in favor of it being the manufactured novelty/magician's coin.
Yours must be a mint error for that price. I won't even ask you for pictures. As soon as I find a two headed Hundred Dollar bill, Dean, I'll send it to do the deal unless someone beats me to it. I might have one around here somewhere.
