<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davedawg, post: 289451, member: 9026&quot;]My point is aren&#039;t these 100th year coins supposed to honor Lincoln? Why not focus on the things that he is well known for: The Gettysburg Address, The Emancipation Proclamation, maybe even an image of seating area in Ford&#039;s theater with the flag draped over it where he was assassinated, and possibly his birthplace in a small log cabin to insinuate how far he had come in order to inspire others (the log cabin is one of the proposed designs). All of these periods and hallmarks in history have had a dramatic effect on how our country has developed and changed over the past 140 years. Who cares about his political career in Illinois where he failed to win an election 4 or 5 times in a row. Yes he stuck to his guns and eventually succeeded, but I would like to see his major achievements highlighted as well as his death that shocked the nation at the time. As an avid, almost insane collector of Lincoln Cents, I feel very passionate about this. Maybe others don&#039;t and that&#039;s fine. Boy am I hungry now, does anyone have any of those foil wrapped chocolate dollars I can eat : )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
