BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19947 Posts	Posted 01/29/2009 7:22 pm Exactly how many steps are on the Memorial? I know there's been changes to the design many times, most notably the 1980's series. But exactly how many are there!? Has the number of steps changed here and there? Lincoln Cent Lover!

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 01/29/2009 9:54 pm I'll let ya know next time I visit D.C. Lincoln was 56 when he died so it was a planned amount of steps. I'm assuming it's All of the steps that leads from the reflection pool to the top Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19947 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 3:12 pm Where the heck are all the missing steps if there's 56!? I've tried counting them a few times and only get 19-23 steps! I'm talking about ALL the steps, from the base of the building to the statue. Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19947 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 12:59 am OK, I'm putting this to REST. I'm going to check some other years, but I started with the 1990 business strike. There are exactly 19 steps. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
