How many of these Lincoln-related coins can you find?

POINT PLEASANT BEACH - The Ocean County Coin Club and the
American Numismatic Association are challenging collectors
to find the following five items relating to 16th president
Abraham Lincoln: a quarter featuring Lincoln, a quarter
featuring Lincoln's birthplace, a penny from the year of
your birth, a penny with a mint-mark and any presidential
dollar coin.

James Majoros, president of the Ocean County club, said that
those who complete the hunt can report their findings by
filling out the online form on the ANA Web site,
www.money.org, and take the link to National Coin Week.

All participants will be entered in a drawing for
Lincoln-related prizes, including 1918 commemorative
half-dollars, featuring Lincoln, Civil War Fractional
Currency, and 2009 Lincoln commemorative silver dollars.

Why Lincoln? ''Lincoln's Legacy: A Nation United'' is the
theme for the 2009 National Coin Week Celebration,
April 19-25.

Majoros said that the Ocean County group and the Atlantic
County Numismatic Society are the two New Jersey coin clubs
participating in the search.

For information about the Atlantic County club visit
www.accoins.org or call Jason O'Brady at (609) 412-1490.
