When one goes to the original tomb Lincoln was put in after his death, one can see a large number of coins on the floor of the vault. Has anyone else who's visited the Lincoln Tomb wondered about this? Is this some sort of good luck tradition or something else entirely? 15:26 26 July 2006
The 7 ton monument is located approximately over the burial vault. This DOES NOT make it a cenotaph. A cenotaph is placed where there is no body, this is a glaring error in the text. T.E. Goodwin 13:28, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I heard that outside the tomb somewhere is a statue of Lincolns head and a lot of people rub its nose for good luck. I was at the tomb once but didn't see it. Should it be mentioned. Cedargang ( talk) 22:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Recent theft of copper sword reveals prior similar vandalism. See: http://www.sj-r.com/top-stories/x1739511277/Time-frame-narrowed-for-Lincoln-Tomb-sword-theft . Not sure where/how to fit any of this in. UnbelievableError ( talk) 09:47, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone know when Eddie Lincoln's remains were moved to the tomb? Willie's were moved with the President's body in 1865, and Tad died in 1871, so he presumably was moved right away. Elsquared ( talk) 04:12, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
