    I've heard of the novelty "Smoking Lincoln" coins but this one is completely different and appears to be a mint error. I'm not a coin expert but this one stands out. Here's pictures of the front and back.

    Hopefully you can make it out with these pictures. I took them with my cellphone and a jewelers loop.

    Thanks,
