Here's a new word for you - EXONUMIA! If you are a collector of Lincoln-related coins, medallions, campaign materials, award ribbons, etc. you collect exonumia. It is a blanket term covering all numismatic material not created by the U.S. government for coins and currency.

I just received a press release on a new book entitled Lincoln's Metallic Imagery: A Listing and Price Guide to Abraham Lincoln Exonumia by Paul A. Cunningham. It covers Lincoln's political path from his first presidential campaign to his death and beyond. 400+ pages, 1600+ full-color photos, history lessons and more. It retails for $90 (wholesale is $70, so Surratt House will not carry it). Check Amazon or contact Mr. Cunningham at http://www.cunninghamexonumia.com
