    This forum probably has the most Lincoln cent collectors of all the forums out there.:thumb:
    How many go past just the cent and collect other Lincoln items?

    Please join in. Medals, plaques or anything Lincoln you feel is really cool.
    I'll be posting a lot of images the next few days. Hope you like it.

    This medal could be had on ebay for about $10, years back. Probably a bit more today. About 70mm.

    I think the OP meant something like a plaque, token, medal, round, etc. with a picture of Lincoln. (with the exception of things like commems, and the 1c that we've all seen)

    This is an image of a Lincoln engraving issued by the BEP and signed by the Director of the BEP in 1985. I bought at the Baltimore Whitman in 1985.

    I don't collect Lincoln's as a series, but this is one my Mom drew about 75 years ago.

    That's really special Chris. One of a kind. From what I have seen you post over the years of your mom's work, she was really a great artist. Thanks for posting it.

    It was a long winter in South Dakota and I had plenty of time to paint this picture of my favorite coin. When I am working tattooing clients an my studio, a common question is "Do you do REAL art too? Like painting". Insult! Well we consider tattooing a higher art form and although a true folk art and subculture an exacting trade. Anyway, I set out to do a painting so I could hang it in my studio and point to it and say "sure, I painted that" but it really belongs in my home. This painting is four feet wide and hangs over my fireplace which is a nice focal point to the room when you step in. I really wanted to have a Lincoln Cent that was dramatic and unique and one that not everyone could have. Of coarse, I was going to have to paint it myself. I really thought I knew this coin but having to paint one really revealed the smallest idiosyncrasies and I know this coin like never before. Acrylic on canvas about 40 total hours. Recently my Mother scored an intricate gilt plaster frame at a mission thrift store where she volunteers that inspired an oil painting of a Saint G. up close that I am working on now. I'll show that too when it is done, Matt
