  Not that one in particular -- but I have seen many other things stamped into Lincoln cents. As a youth I recall the "Lincoln smoking a pipe" to be particularly popular.
  
  Just souvenirs -- numismatically not worth much, but kinda neat nonetheless.

  Welcome to the boards. The coins you are talking about would be considered a novelty and not worth very much. Hope this isn't too much of a dissapointment.

  Courtesy of board member MDWOODS i have a set of 1979 Lincoln State Cents in a penny board. Each has the outline of a state and the 2 letter initials for it. Mark informed me that another novelty Lincoln is on it's way to me.
  
  I also have Lincoln:
  taking a drink
  smoking a cigar
  with the Democratic donkey
  with the Republican elephant
  with the Liberty Bell
  with the Girl Scout emblem
  with the Boy Scout emblem
  on a not genuine 1943 copper cent
  on a not genuine 1944 steel cent
  AND elongated cents with Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy
  Some of these had a price of 35 cents written on the 2X2's they were in.

  Welcome to the Forum jhoschouer.
  
  I actually found one of these in circulation last year (Texas). I don't think they have any value other than novelty.
  
  Sorry.

  I got one in change not long ago. It had the state of Virginia stamped into it. (VA).
  
  I asked around were they came from and who stamped them. Still dont know.
  Anyway, while at the coin shop I noticed they had a roll of these with I think all the states stamped
  on these `76 Lincolns. Well, not caring if they were novilties or not, I bought that roll for $2.
  I know, Thats about $1.50 too much but ,hey, I like em and think there kinda cool.

  Welcome aboard.
  
  There were at least three of the sets of states stamped on the Lincolns and at least
  one of these was used for multiple dates.

  I never seen ones like that. But I`ve have seen some with Kennedy and a few with Three Leaf Clovers before. The Kennedy ones where really easy to find 20 years ago.

  I`ve seen a few of those too but not for a long time. At least 20 years since I`ve seen those.
