Hi Paradise, welcome to CCF.
The Lincioln cent you speak of was a novelty item made by stamping the JFK head into a normal cent after it was made. There were quite a few of them made, and also with other themes, like a pipe being smoked (by Lincoln), the 50 states (etc). They sold for about a dollar when then came out in the 1970s and have some small value today, but really not much.
I found this answer on the net with a google search. I have seen them, they are neat, but definitely not an error.
