Double tailed British old penny.

I recently discovered an old British penny, with a tail on both sides. One side 1938, the other 1967. Must be rarity, but would it have any value?

 It is made by cutting two halves then gluing together, 

to cheat on a coin toss. Look at the edge and there will be a seam. 

Impossible for a Mint designer in 1938 to know who would be the 

ruler 29 years later. Do you have pictures - front / back / edge ?

Why would anyone go to all that trouble with a penny. Worthless then.

Find attached pics.

 Thanks for pictures. Not worthless - if at some time in the 

past it was given in change it could still be spent as a penny - 

as presumably whomever made it also used the two reverses 

to also make a double-tailed coin. Then also as stated it was 

meant as a way to cheat on a coin toss - so the creator would 

gain from whatever was being tossed for.
