<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 525030, member: 15062&quot;]The log cabin depicted on the reverse of the new cent is not the log cabin Lincoln was born in.&nbsp; The cabin shown was simply near the location of the original Lincoln cabin and it isn&#039;t even original as shown, having been reduced in size by almost half to more closely what is thought to be the size of the original Lincoln cabin.&nbsp; It was thought for a while that maybe some of the logs in this cabin may have been taken from the original Lincoln cabin but recent tree ring examination has shown that the logs for this cabin were cut some years after Lincoln&#039;s birth.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.nps.gov/history/NR/travel/presidents/lincoln_birthplace.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nps.gov/history/NR/travel/presidents/lincoln_birthplace.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nps.gov/history/NR/travel/presidents/lincoln_birthplace.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
