Coins are not etched, they are struck or minted. Etching uses acid to dissolve metal or another substance from on top of a substrate. Unfortunately they have no numismatic value other than 1 cent. Some novelty-item collectors will pay a premium for one that's still attached to its original packaging.
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.
Note that some of the "amazing coincidences" require stretching history quite a bit.

It's a common novelty coin, not worth very much. A 1973 penny is currently worth about 2 cents for its copper content, and one with Kennedy carved into is worth as much as someone on eBay will pay for it.
The Lincoln-Kennedy penny is a novelty made by private companies, it's not produced by the U.S. Mint. It's not worth much of anything.
Kennedy is on the US half dollar (50 cent) coin and Lincoln is on the penny (1 cent) coin.
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.

It's almost certainly either a privately-issued piece or a genuine penny that was altered. Either way it has no collector value.
Sorry, It's a novelty coin with no numismatic value.
This is NOT something that was done at any U.S. Mint. It's a privately made novelty coin that has no numismatic value. But they do have a "niche collectible" market. If you can find someone that wants this coin, you may get 1 or 2 dollars for it. These are usually sold attached to a card with so-called strange coincidence's between the two Presidents.
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.
