A "restrike" on coins is when the coin is struck again using the same dies. An "overstrike" on coins is when the coin was struck again with a different die to change the appearance of the coin. A "counterstrike" on coins is when the coin is restruck using a different die. For example, the British "counterstruck" 18th Century Spanish American 8 Reale coins and called them Dollars. This was once a relatively common practice. An "overdate" is a number engraved in the date over the original engraved date.

What is the value of a 1905 Indian head penny stamped with holcomb on its face?

What is a HOLCOMB? Do you mean HOLOGRAM? If so, I'm afraid you have a damaged coin. Without the overstamp it might have been worth a buck or two. But since it was altered, it has no numismatic value other than 1¢.
