Not rare and not a mint product. It's a novelty item made by a private company that took ordinary 1976 cents and counterstamped them with Kennedy's picture. They're considered to be altered coins with no numismatic value.

Carloads were made for the Bicentennial and sold as "instant collectibles" but the market fell apart as soon as the Bicentennial celebrations ended, so you're unlikely to find buyers even among collectors of novelty items.

Is a penny with Lincoln and Edison on the face of it rare?

Are you sure it's not Kennedy and Lincoln? These usually sell for about a dollar if it is still glued to the card that lists the "amazing similarities" between these two assassinated Presidents. If it really is Edison, you probably have the only one, but that doesn't make it valuable. It's just another penny counterstamped by a novelty company.

What is a Lincoln penny that has two heads on the obverse?

These are ordinary Lincoln Cents that a private company stamped with a rather crude portrait of John Kennedy. They were sold for about $1 glued to a card that listed several "amazing" similarities between the two assassinated Presidents. Like Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theater and Kennedy in a car built by the Ford Motor Co (a Lincoln). Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. About the only similarity listed that is 100% accurate is that both were succeeded by a Vice President named Johnson.
