[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9442071, member: 56"]I hadn't even noticed. They are not exactly the same. Yours appears to be an engraving, theirs is an etching. The backgrounds are marginally different. This is the Marshall engraving: [ATTACH=full]439061[/ATTACH] So my guess is that HB Hall wanted a Lincoln image, so they used the Marshall engraving as a source. Maybe they ran into copyright problems and decided to make the image their own by significantly re-working it. I don't know why HB Hall would otherwise produce both an etching and an engraving. But both have the same inscription. You can compare theirs against yours to see if they are identical: [ATTACH=full]439062[/ATTACH] It's not as simple as it seemed at first.[/QUOTE]
