POP-UP STORE: PRESIDENTS DAY Celebrating the American presidents COINS WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN THEMES We’re not counting our thousands of ordinary coins that were
merely pressed on Lincoln cents, even though some Ebay sellers think that’s a worthwhile thing to
add to their descriptions |

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
BIRTHPLACE NATIONAL HISTORIC
PARK These two historic sites
are jointly run by the Park Service and some of their gift shop offerings are
interchangeable. During our August
2023 visit the high-relief token (KY24) – new to our website – was offered
only at the Birthplace. The other
token had been offered at the Birthplace in the past, but was only found at
the Boyhood Home on this recent visit.
High=relief token
from the Lincoln birthplace. Same
diameter as other national park tokens.
Both sides shown in photo. KY24 $2.99

LINCOLN
TOMB Single coin
from a one-die machine at the gift shop just outside the entrance to the

substance, probably from machine lubrication. I have cleaned these using a
dry cloth, but they have some remnants akin to fingerprints. The
coin has a backstamp “Lincoln Souvenir.”
