Both halves were made in a US Mint, but someone with a lathe cut them down and put them together. These are called Magician's Coins and are sold in novelty stores for $6 or so. They can usually be purchased on eBay for a couple of dollars (plus $6 shipping and handling of course). If your coin has a normal head of Lincoln, with a small head of Kennedy looking at Lincoln, this is a novelty item, usually made as an advertising gimmick and attached to a card listing the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. Somebody would have stamped the Kennedy head onto a normal penny. These regularly sell for a dollar or two.
