Hardin County is a county located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It was formed in 1793. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 105,543. Its county seat is at Elizabethtown. Hardin County is part of the Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Metropolitan Statistical Area, part of the overall Louisville metro area.
The county is named for John Hardin, a Continental Army officer during the American Revolution. President Abraham Lincoln was born in what was then Hardin County near Hodgenville, now part of modern-day LaRue County. Quote:

1st Battle at Saratoga, Sept. 19, 1777 A bit obscure, I'll grant you that!!  Part of the problem with this "nickname" is there apparently were many "Indian Killers" during that period of our country's past. I didn't discover this until the hint had been posted fro a while and I couldn't then delete it. Edited by Moe145

 Soooo...  Since I am so good at the Code breakage  , will there be any more soon?  Even though I have no clue usually  , they are interesting and entertaining and make me shake my gray matter a bit!   |

Actually I have a concept in mind but will not be able to work on it until next week.
But then.... Code Breaker Contest # 14 will live (unless someone else beats me to it)!!

I'm sorry to bid all adieu for a while. I have some pressing matters concerning imperf stamps I must attend to so I will be scarce on the coin side for a while. Bon chance, all!

Post it if you'd like coinguy. The prizes are a nice gesture, but I don't think it would stop many of us from trying it out.
