1 cent. It's a novelty item made by punching an image of JFK onto an ordinary cent.
There seems to be some confusion here. Kennedy is on the half dollar, while Lincoln is on the penny. A 1974 Kennedy half is worth 50 cents. A '74 Lincoln cent is worth 2 cents for its copper content.
These "Lincoln Facing Kennedy" pennies were made by private companies -- mostly in the 1970's -- that took a normal penny and stamped a portrait of President Kennedy facing President Lincoln on the front of the coin. They were normally attached to some kind of card that listed the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. The card was usually stamped with a company name & address, and they were often given out as an advertising gimmick by small businesses to attract customers. They sell for a dollar or two if they are attached the the card that lists the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. Without the card, maybe a quarter.Most of the "amazing coincidences" are especially amazing because they stretch history more than a little bit.
Lincoln cents with Kennedy's face counter stamped on them are novelty coins that have no numismatic value at all. Many different dates and mintmarks exist, but they are still only face value.

The person who created that penny used a portrait for Lincoln for the penny and in that picture, Lincoln is seen facing the right so yeah.
The Kennedy counter stamp was not done by the U.S. Mint. It's a novelty coin that has no collectible value at all.
Side-facing bust of Abraham Lincoln on the "heads" side, and Lincoln Memorial on the "tails" side.
A 1978 Lincoln-Kennedy penny is not considered rare or valuable to collectors and is typically worth face value. A 1946 wheat penny in circulated condition is worth around 10-20 cents, while one in uncirculated condition could be worth a few dollars.
Sorry, It's a novelty coin with no numismatic value.
It's almost certainly either a privately-issued piece or a genuine penny that was altered. Either way it has no collector value.
Those Lincoln-Kennedy cents were modified by a private company, NOT the U.S. Mint. To find the value, check how much they're selling for on eBay. It's probably not much.
