GaryVanWa Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 11:31 pm This one just arrived. Just a common circ coin but as I always do, I love to imagine someone holding this in their hand in 1847, when it was a fresh UNC coin and using it to buy something at the general store, saloon or trading post. Abraham Lincoln was 38 years old that year, had been practicing law for about 10 years and was beginning to dabble in politics. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3636 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 01:17 am Thinking about where a coin has possibly been and what was going on during the time it circulated has always been a fascination with me!
