Those coins are novelties, modified by a 3rd party outside the US mint. It's only worth as much as someone is willing to spend.

Was a double head Lincoln penny dated 1973 made in the mint?

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.

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. They sell for a dollar or two if they are attached the the card that lists the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents.

What does a Lincoln and Kennedy penny look like?

These coins are novelty items made by private companies. They take ordinary Lincoln cents and stamp a small image of JFK in the space to the right of Lincoln's picture, making it appear the two Presidents are looking at each other. Many times these coins are attached to a card listing supposed "astonishing coincidences" in their lives. Unfortunately some of the "coincidences" require stretching history more than a bit.
