Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Coin
Born in 1809 near the humble town of Hodgevile, Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln grew up in a hard-working farm family. Lincoln excelled in school from an early age and had a voracious love for both reading and woodcutting, for which he became locally well-known. His interest in politics was fueled by his heart for people and fierce advocacy for liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Lincoln eventually studied law and passed the bar exam with no formal collegiate education in 1836, where after he practiced law in the Prarie region.
When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1861, the dark clouds of the Civil War were already gathering. After desperate attempts at avoiding conflict had failed and blood had already begun to spill, "Honest Abe" was forced to become the most active leader in American history-assuming the role of Commander-in-Chief during America's bleakest and bloodiest period. Lincoln led the nation with integrity and determination, ultimately securing victory in the North and bringing an end to slavery. Assassinated just six days after the end of the Civil War, Lincoln is remembered as our greatest President.
