If the execution of the coin looks as good as the drawing then it will be nice and popular. It it looks like the Presidential coins and Jefferson it will be popular but not in my collection.

I must live further out in the woods than I thought. First I recall of a Silver Lincoln Dollar. I assume it will be a silver ounce. Yes it will be popular. Mintage limit of 500,000 is not excessive for this coin IMO.

Know two little granny's who will want me to order some for their grandchildren. A couple of guys to.

Thanks for the post Danr

 

I think that will look great in silver.

 

I may actually consider purchasing this coin even though I am not heavily into modern commemoratives (I do have a few though)

Another chance to curse at the mint ?

I am like you, I only buy the ones I like (I will be purchasing this one).

 

I think I enjoyed the com eagles more.

Iwa Jima was also nice.

Sorry, I disagree. I am not a fan of the writing on the back.

 

Oh man, take it to the political forum. So what's not to like?

 

Its my cross that I have to carry.

 

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

 

That's right Reuben, The Gettysburg Address.....one of the greatest speeches ever written. And in the days when you didn't have speech writers......

 

some thinks I'm right today ...hmmm

 

One word....
mine.

 

I find that to be one of the best parts
