Question
I have a 1963 penny that has Lincoln and JFK on it. I was curious if it is just a common coin or has any collectable value.

Answer
HI Molli,
If you are talking about a penny that has Kennedy's head stamped into the coin by Lincoln's bust, these were made after the coins left the mint.  They were probably punched to promote some Kenny fact such as the similarities between both presidents.
These are very common and have no collector value.
