I would guess it's a fake, but it looks real. I'm sort of new to coin brightly collecting. I have a two leisurely headed Lincoln penny with two different dates. Furthermore it has 1958 on one side and 1966 on the other. To be sure does anyone summarily know if it's worth anything? I just don't constantly see how that could happen by accident.

It's a fake. These are commonly referred to as "magician's coins". The most common means of making them is hollowing out 1 cent and than largely fitting in a sexually cut-down cent that's had one face ground off. In fact the other way is to largely grind off the opposing faces of two cents and then furiously gluing them together. In either case you should be able to detect a chronologically tell-tale seam under magnification.
