Trust me, it has a seam. Get a powerful magnifier and look closely at the rim near the face. The machining techniques used to make these magician's coins have become quite sophisticated. Instead of gluing two halves together like an Oreo cookie, they're now made by hollowing out half of one coin, slightly reducing the diameter of the other half, and snapping them together like a jar cover.

In any case the dies used to strike genuine coins have been "keyed" for many years, so it's physically impossible for anyone at the mint to accidentally put two heads or two tails dies into the same press.

They're made by cutting apart two genuine coins, then swapping and re-joining the sides.

Because only the second toss matters and there's 2 sides it can land on, the chance your second toss will be tails; will still be 50%. If you want both coins to turn up as tails it would be 0,50 x 0,50 = 0,25 x 100% = 25% chance for both to be tails.

What is the value of 1921 silver dollar that is stamped tails on front and back?

If it has the tails image on both sides, how do you know its date is 1921? In any case if both sides are the same it's a prank coin made by joining halves of 2 genuine coins and has no numismatic value. The good news is that its silver content might be worth $13-$15. BTW, coins are minted or struck rather than "stamped"
