It sounds like what you have is an off-center strike. That error occurs when a coin blank doesn't land in the center of the collar that holds it for striking in a coin press.

Unfortunately your error coin is probably only worth $2 to $5. For some coins, off-center strikes can be quite valuable but so many cents are struck at such high speeds that this error happen more than one might expect.

What is the value of a mis-struck US cent with no date and only the top of Lincolns head on the front and one cent and the very bottom of the building showing?

What you have is called an off-center strike. That error occurs when a coin blank doesn't land in the center of the collar that holds it for striking in a coin press. So many cents are made each year at such high speeds that the likelihood of finding an off-center penny is higher than for other denominations. Current (2015) quotes are around $2 or $3 for a coin with roughly 1/4 of the image showing.
