More than 200 years after his birth in an humble log cabin in Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln was impressing voters in Baltimore this week.

At the Whitman Coin & Collectibles Baltimore Expo, President Lincoln--as portrayed by Dennis Boggs-"had his picture struck" with more than 300 Expo guests and handed out copies of his Bicentennial Lincoln Cent.

For more than nine years now, Mr. Boggs has been a full-time Lincoln, after having first portayed him in a community theatre production in Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Boggs has an encyclopedic knowledge of the 16th President's life and times. He was even able to elucidate a rare bit of currency during the Expo, correctly identifying one of the four Union generals pictured on "the general's notes," owned by Ed Brigante of Tom Surina, LLC--a well-known collectible currency dealer.
