Please look at this penny and see if you can make out the last two numbers on this one and also the back is stamped on the front. This is an error coin and i want to know how valuable it may be?

The coin was stuck in something mechanical so this is post mint damage and not a mint error. It is worth face value.

In the 1960s several firms stamped a Lincoln penny with the face of Kennedy to honor both as civil rights martyrs. They sold for a buck or two each. I believe that is what you see, not done at the US mint.

Please don't fall into this line of thinking, we can see shapes in clouds but it doesn't imply anything special, and the same with coins. It is not going to be a mint error and there's no such mint error as faces on a coin. It just isn't a thing that can happen.
