<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yacorie, post: 1416907, member: 25257&quot;]Today I purchased a group of coins and paper money and one of the items is something I can&#039;t find any information about. I&#039;ll take photos when I get home and post them but I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the direction of some information by the description. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not positive whether this coin is silver or not but I&#039;ve been able to find something similar that is listed as being silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>In capitals across the top it says &quot;the life of lincoln&quot; and on the bottom it says &quot;first inaugural&quot;. There are two stars on either side of the coin. The center of the coin shows a scent of lincoln with some other people - I&#039;m guessing during his first inaugural address. </p><p><br /></p><p>the reverse: </p><p><br /></p><p>Along the top it says &quot;first inaugural&quot; and then goes on the have the following text &quot;I am loth to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.&quot; Along the bottom there is a wreath and there is a letter &quot;L&quot; mint mark. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found 1oz silver rounds that are named &quot;The Life of Lincoln&quot; Emancipation Proclamtaion and another that is the Indiana Years but I&#039;m struggling to find any mention of this one, or any information about it. I just like to know what these are so I can put a little note next to them as an FYI. </p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate any information you guys and gals may have. I&#039;ve tried google, ebay etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT _ I think I found it here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=140684620677&amp;_trksid=p2992.m753" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=140684620677&amp;_trksid=p2992.m753" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=140684620677&amp;_trksid=p2992.m753</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure though - it doesn&#039;t say silver or sterling anywhere and i swear i see copper on the rim.&nbsp; I can&#039;t find anything else though[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
