Double headed novelty and Magician's coins have no numismatic value, but depending on the denomination an quality most are under $10.00.
The two coins are 10c and 25c. As stated in the question, one of them is not a quarter, if it's a leap year.
Unless it's a genuine mistake that occurred in the mint, it's probably worth a few bucks at most. Two-headed quarters are often sold in magic and gag gift shops. See the Related Links for more info about these coins.
No, it's not possible that a double-headed quarter with two such diverse dates could be a legitimate Mint error. Dies are destroyed, if not worn out through usage, by the end of the year in which they are used. The coin in question is almost certainly a novelty or magician's coin.
Two-headed coins are not real, they are Magician's Coins made by altering two normal coins and gluing the pieces back together. These sell on eBay all the time for a couple dollars.
There are no 3 headed quarters minted by the U.S. Mint.
A two headed quarter is not something that was done at the mint, it is a novelty item, generally with high enough magnification you can see the seam that the two coins were joined together. They aren't rare and really aren't worth any more than a quarter.

1796 is the first year the US issued a quarter, look at the coin again and post new question.

You have a novelty item called a magician's coin. It's not real.
That's a novelty two-headed coin. They're sold in joke and magic shops.
I have a 1994 quarter double date, what is the worth ?
Not a US Mint product. Two quarters have been glued together and it has no collectible value.
Nothing it is considered a magicians coin. They shave off one half of two quarters and then melt them together. On half will be thinner than the other.
It's not a real quarter. These were novelty items given out as promotional items.
