Phil,
I don't think I have those and I can't remember if we ever traded. I'd blame it on old age, if I was old... Do you still have them? |

Phil,
You can go to their profile and there is an option for send email to member off the board. Thanks for looking. I am putting together a packet of precancels for you in trade for the Lincoln FDC |

I think this is the most handsome stamp of Lincoln--from a gal's point of view.  Gussyboy1   |

16th President Abe Lincoln 1809-1865 I think maybe he looks better with the beard! Definitely more distinguished! Gussyboy1 Image Insert: |

Those are both good portraits. Much better than the young, gangly looking Linocln from his railsplitter, postmaster, and lawyer days. |

I noticed that in some portraits they down play the "mole" on his right cheek.

You could make a life time out of collecting Lincoln. He may well be the most popular person on stamps from many countries. |

bobggg,  Yes I could use that cover. mkfarm, You are correct in that collecting Lincoln could take a lifetime or last a lifetime. Also, I know that he is the person pictured on more US stamps than anyone else (at least that is what I've been told, I'm thinking Washington or Franklin).   I will have to check and see how many countries have a Lincoln stamp.  |

Incidentally, Her Majesty is one of the more popular topicals for girls, in Canada. A new P-rate stamp with a portrait of Her Majesty is to be released next month by Canada Post. I always wanted Canada Post to issue a stamp with both Her Majesty and HRH The Prince Philip. I've always been a great admirer of HRH. David |

Does anyone know if there is any importance to the postmark on bobgggg's cover relating to Lincoln? The only thing I can think of is that a collector had an extra cachet cover, appropiate stamp and wanted a New Year's Day postmark from D.C. |

I only collect Abe on one cent pieces. Have all from 1909 to 2008, but not all mints for each year. Steve |
