    My group of editors there didn't tear it apart :) so I thought I would share it here too.

    I thought the information was kind of neat. Of course, I am obviously easily amused. :)

    Chris: Thanks!

    Chrysta: Funny you should say that...I know you are about 10 years younger than I am but when I post an article like that I think of you as a gray haired lady ready to slap my knuckles with a ruler! :D

    Nice piece of work, there! Excellent research and a good job of taking the reader along the path of the story to its conclusion. Terrific historical support with the plaque and photo.

    The NUMISMATIST is changing its format in January. When it comes out, see if this piece fits and send it along. Central States CENTinel pays for articles, also, by the way, so does the MichMatist and many people in the midwest belong to MSNS just because it is a focal point.

    Thanks again for sharing this with the group.

    Thanks Michael!

    As a side note: Soon after I finished posting it, I found this picture

    So, as you can see from that picture, which was taken by Berger on the same day as the one that led to the Lincoln cent, it turns out that both the Lincoln cent and the $5 bill (older style) were actually born on the very same day in 1864.

    Well, it seems that Stujoe doesn't even own that domain anymore, looks like he let the domain expire and a squatter registered it so I'm going to go ahead and remove the links and close this thread.
