lucky piece

A two-headed coin.

Trail West to Fury: The Mavericks don't believe in luck, and they don't cheat. Except, on occasion, each other. To decide which Maverick would track the Tall Man and which would stick with Laura on the Miller cattle drive, Bret tossed a coin. Bart, on to his brother's tricks, grabbed the coin from the air to show its two heads. Bret, in a vain attempt to save face, referred to it as his "lucky piece," which he thought he had lost.[1]
