Lincoln forever linked with the number 56

[halfdime]

As you know, Abraham Lincoln was 56 when he was assassinated. I've read stories in recent years that he suffered some sort of malady that would have shortened his life considerably, even without Booth's fatal bullet. What it was, I don't recall, but that's not important here. What is pertinent are the dates of today's only finds at the silver farm: 1910 and 1966 pennies. I know you can't see the date on the 10, but I'm posting it because old wheats seldom come out of our ground this clean. It's worn, but it's a nice coin. And you have probably already done the math; they're 56 years apart! I'm actually thinking of changing my TNet name to Cliff Klavin .

If I am not mistaken it was Marfan's Syndrome that Abe suffered with.

I love to find wheat pennies.

Good post !!

That was interesting. 56? If you add my
dog's age and my age you would get 50,
and if you then add my wifes age, in dog
years of course, you would get 56.....
HOW WEIRD is that
I have way too much time on my hands to
have had time to figure that out. But, my
batteries are dead in my flashlight, my
daughter took my money, so I can't go
MDing tonight.
LMAO

Sometimes a wheat penny is not too bad. I always like finding the teen and earlier date wheats.

Yeah you can't complain when you find a 97 year old coin in the ground, great recovery!

"Cheers" to your finds. Way to go!

Come to think of it, it's better than any coin I've found with a certain MDer I've hunted with!

haha...i suppose so. But if you'd compare our year's totals you blow me out of the water! I think I'm at like....6 silver coins recovered this year! I bet you have 100x that.

Maybe not 100x, more like 100+ . And I was there for at least half your silver!

Shoot, three of those silvers came out of the same hole when you were there.
