<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4958482, member: 92655"]I do not know if this is a true story. I read it somewhere and it made perfect sense to me. I have seen many early Lincoln's with a very red hue to them. I read that in the days before mass advertising, the traveling circus would send a runner ahead of the circus to disperse red painted cents into the local economy. If you went to the local merchant and received a red cent in your change, then you knew the circus was about to come to town...... Anyway, I cannot reference the story but it made sense to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
