What is the value of a 1979 penny with two heads facing each other on the obverse that seems to be elongated and distorted as though it were double-struck?

Value will depend on if the doubled image occured before or after the coin left the mint. It may have been smashed together with another penny in a vice or with a hammer -- this would be considered a damaged coin with no added value. This is most likely what happened. It may have been struck once normally, then somehow miraculously got back into the press at the same time as another coin that had already been struck, then these two coins were struck together -- an almost infinitely impossible situation. If this is what you have, then I would guess its value at thousands of dollars, if you can find an interested buyer. I suggest you send large, magnified pictures of both sides of the coin to mike@mikebyers.com -- he should be able to tell what you have for sure.

Why is the head on the 1914 dime facing to the right and dimes after that face left?
Um, I don't understand what you are meaning. Barber dimes were struck from 1842-1916. All have their depiction of Liberty facing right. The Mercury and Roosevelt dimes all have the obverse head facing left. There is no real reason for that other than artistic preference. The Seated Liberty and Capped Bust face left while the Draped Bust coins face right. It is all just whatever the artist wants, there is no rhyme or reason for it other than artistic preference.
