They cost about $8.95 at novelty shops. Look at it with an 8X magnifier and you should be able to find the seam where one coin was hollowed out and another ground down to fit inside.

How do you find the value of a penny dated 1972 s stamped with Lincoln's head on both sides?

If there's no trace of the Lincoln Memorial, the answer is easy - it's worth zero, because it's a prank coin made for sale in a novelty shop. These turn up all the time. Search this site by entering the word DOUBLE in the Search facility and you'll find hundreds of similar postings. Also note that coins are said to be struck or minted rather than stamped. I don't know why, it's just what's done.

What is a 2001 penny that has tails on both sides but has been stamped on one side with a heads also?

You might have a flip-over double-strike which would bring several dollars from an error collector, but you should be able to see at least a trace of heads and tails on both sides. If the tails image that is on the heads side is reversed, it is possible that someone laid another coin on top of yours and hit it with a hammer. If that's what happened you just have a damaged coin. Someone familiar with minting errors would have to examine it to be sure.
