As I live in the Netherlands, I regard Lincoln differently as the members of this community. Over here it is the other way around. There has been leftovers from American travellers throughout times and you can easily buy wheat cents and Jefferson nickels very cheap within world kilogrammes. I found for example a 1909 VDB cent in a normal quality, nearly uncirculated, two years ago for an amount of 3 euro (approximately 2.75 us dollars), therefor I am happy to know that people pay large prices for such a Wheat cent in the U.S.A. Maybe you ought to go to the Netherlands for holidays, you can find large quantities of US money with dealers in shops and flea-markets. But: you yourself are the judge to decide whether you take the money and run or leave it behind, as for grading we use poor, very fine, uncirculated, brilliant uncirculated and proof... Want adventure and no jungle? Come to Holland...
The House Jefferson lived when he was ambassador to the United States still exists (The Hague), you can see the other side of Ellis Island at the Hotel New York in Rotterdam (former president Bill Clinton took residence over there a little while ago), docking bay for Holland-America Line, and also the Church of the Pilgrim Fathers is very nearby, in which the voyage of the Mayflower was arranged in 1619-1620.
