presented to our September 10, 2025 meeting
Dennis Tucker met Fred Reed twenty years ago. He’d been hired as publisher at Whitman Publishing in 2004. Fred, by that time, was well known and widely published. “By the summer of 2005,” Dennis recalls, “Fred and I were talking about ways we might collaborate to get him on board as a new Whitman author. Around June of 2007, he sent me a letter and pitched a manuscript for a new book on “Abraham Lincoln in numismatics.” Dennis’ September 10 presentation to the Chicago Coin Club was a remembrance of Fred Reed, who passed away in 2021, and a look at some of the images of Lincoln in Fred’s books.
The following are excerpts of the presentation.
“I remember Fred’s business card at the time. It said ‘Fred writes right.’ And boy did he! He’d started in his early twenties as a journalist in the United States Army, in 1970. Over a career of forty-plus years, he worked on the staffs of daily, weekly, monthly, and annual publications in five states and the Republic of Korea. He was a photographer, typesetter, and proofreader, editorial director, and vice president of publishing. He authored or coauthored sixteen books, and edited nine others. Among his favorite topics were Christianity, the Civil War, and the subject of today’s talk, Abraham Lincoln.”
Dennis described Fred as “definitely the right author at the right time.Think back to 2007. Excitement was starting to build toward the 2009 bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth. Congress had authorized – and the United States Mint was planning – a suite of four new pennies for the bicentennial year, to be followed by a completely new reverse design in 2010. At Whitman headquarters, Q. David Bowers and I had started serious discussion and planning for a Guide Book of Lincoln Cents, which would become volume 9 in the Bowers Series. Naturally, I was eager to write up a publishing agreement for Fred Reed.”
Fred’s manuscript became the book Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness, published in 2009. His concept expanded into Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon, which followed in 2013.
Fred Reed’s Lincoln collection included some 4,000 items. Dennis described his interest in Abraham Lincoln as “a healthy obsession.”
“Fred was well known for his attention to detail,” Dennis noted. “He had been researching, studying, and writing about Abraham Lincoln for more than fifty years. When he was a kid he would sit at the dinner table with his dad and look at Lincoln cents from their pocket change, and organize them into blue Whitman coin folders. For Fred’s entire life, Abraham Lincoln was a constant presence on American money. He connected Lincoln’s history to the president’s numismatic legacy, something no one had ever done in such detail. Fred told me he agreed with the late governor of Illinois, Henry Horner, who said, ‘A man can have no finer hobby than an interest in Lincoln and all that he stood for.’”
In his first book, Fred Reed studied the popular image of Abraham Lincoln, in four main parts:
Dennis presented several images that were favorites of Fred Reed, as well as some of his own favorites. Here are a few examples from each of Fred’s four categories:
Abraham Lincoln, 1809 to 1865
Said Dennis: “This is the era of Lincoln’s life. His image enters mainstream awareness as he takes to the national stage. Some images are used to promote and praise him. Others, like countless political cartoons, criticize the president, making him a devil or a buffoon.”
He showed photos of the “Thou Art the Man” medal, one of many political pieces that promoted Lincoln as “the right man in the right place” during and after the 1860 presidential campaign.
“Lincoln was beardless when he ran for president,” Dennis said. “He didn’t grow his famous chin-whiskers until after the election, before he was sworn in. Engravers and printmakers and other artists were caught off guard. Suddenly their clean-shaven portraits were yesterday’s news! If they had the skill, and a steady hand, they could take an old portrait and carefully carve on a beard.” He illustrated this with “before” and “after” engravings by Philadelphia artisan Samuel Sartain.
In the realm of paper money, Dennis said: “In early 1861 Lincoln was the president-elect. The nation’s private bank-note companies had to scramble to create new bearded portraits to compete for government printing work. These would be used on federal bonds, and bank notes. The National Bank Note Co. quickly engraved a portrait that was approved for use on $500, six percent, 20-year bonds. Its competitor, the American Bank Note Co., also quickly made a portrait, by Charles Burt. On March 30 this was approved for use in printing government securities.” He showed photographs of a roller die that was used to impress Charles Burt’s Lincoln portrait on die plates for currency production.
Fred Reed called Charles Burt’s portrait “the most important engraving of Abraham Lincoln.” It was the first depiction of Lincoln on federal currency. It circulated on millions of $10 Demand Notes and Legal Tender Notes during and after the Civil War. “This helped establish Lincoln’s identity,” Dennis observed, “and cemented his image in the mind of the American public. As Carl Sandburg wrote in 1940, ‘On the 50-cent greenbacks and on the $10 bill, a steel engraving representing Lincoln’s face became familiar to all who looked at it.’”
Another medal that Dennis discussed is one that Fred Reed called “the outstanding official medal of Lincoln’s lifetime” – the 1862 Indian Peace medal. These were made at the Philadelphia Mint to be given to Native American tribal allies as gifts of friendship from the United States. Dennis illustrated the type with a silver three-inch version minted in 1863.
He noted: “Fred criticized Salathiel Ellis’s portrait of Lincoln, calling its haircut a ‘soup bowl,’ and the beard ‘aggressive.’ He said Lincoln’s clothes looked like a smoking-jacket robe, and the rounded-off bust like a Weeble wobbly toy.” In the background of the reverse, Dennis pointed out, people are playing a stick-and-ball game that some observers see as an early form of baseball. And he noted a design detail that’s disturbing, especially on a Peace medal: the Indian at the top-right is being scalped.
Among the other pieces Dennis discussed in the “Abraham Lincoln, 1809 to 1865” category were an encased portrait that John Gault intended to sell by the millions; and an 1864 presidential campaign medal by Anthony C. Paquet (one of the few private, political medals actually struck by the Philadelphia Mint).
Lincoln, the Ideal, 1865 to 1909
“In this period,” Dennis said, “Lincoln is recently dead, and, as Secretary of War Edwin Stanton said, ‘Now he belongs to the ages.’ He’s mourned by the nation; and with this comes Apotheosis, or deification. Lincoln the ‘martyr victorious’ is crowned, and ascends to heaven.”
“Among the medals issued to memorialize Lincoln,” Dennis said, “the most celebrated is the solid-gold piece presented in 1866 to his widow, Mary Todd Lincoln, on behalf of the people of France.” He illustrated the type with a bronze example of the kind struck for presentation to dignitaries and for sale to the public.
Fred Reed called this medallic portrait “superb,” noting that Lincoln’s hair, brows, and beard detail, even the veins in his temple, were rendered with absolute precision. The unique gold medal was paid for by subscription of more than 40,000 French citizens. It measures 3¼ inches in diameter, is half an inch thick, and weighs nearly 17 ounces.
“For many years the location of the gold medal was uncertain,” Dennis said, “and it was rumored that Mary Todd Lincoln had it melted when she was in financial distress. But about fifteen years ago it was digitally scanned as part of the Abraham Lincoln Papers in the Library of Congress, where it currently resides. Also in that collection is the presentation letter to Mrs. Lincoln, giving her ‘the homage of our profound respect.’ The letter was written by French author Victor Hugo.”
Lincoln, the Idol, 1909 to 1959
“In this era our reverence of Lincoln reaches new heights,” Dennis said. “We admire him, we want to be like him. And 1909 launches a new stage of Lincoln being everywhere, all the time. Every man, woman, and child sees him nearly every day – if not on a $5 bill, then on a one-cent coin, as humble as the log cabin he was born in.”
This era began with the celebrations of Abraham Lincoln’s birth centennial in 1909. Dennis discussed a sculptural work by Victor David Brenner, creator of the 1909 Lincoln cent. It was a beardless bust of Lincoln that Brenner made around the same time his new penny portrait debuted. The bust was part of the artist’s studio collection until his death in 1924.
Dennis showed a painting of Lincoln from that era. “I remember one day in 2008,” he recalled, “a large, very carefully wrapped package arrived at my office at Whitman headquarters in Atlanta. Inside was this framed 20- by 24-inch oil painting by artist Vincent Aderente. It came from Fred Reed’s personal collection and he was excited to have it photographed, to feature it on the cover of his book.”
Vincent Aderente was born in Naples, Italy, in 1880, and his family came to America when he was nine years old. “To Fred,” Dennis said, “this painting embodied the story of an immigrant who was drawn to the legacy of the greatest American president. Fred opined that the painting was made for the Lincoln centennial in 1909. It was obviously influenced by the Anthony Berger photograph that was also used by Victor David Brenner for the Lincoln cent.”
Another coinage connection: Dennis showed the original plaster model of a seated statue of Lincoln by James Earle Fraser, who collectors know as the designer of the 1913 Buffalo nickel. “This model was bought in 1968 by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center in Oklahoma City,” Dennis said. “It was an expensive acquisition. But museum director Dean Krakel said, ‘the Lincoln statue was vital to the exhibition, and, except for End of the Trail, more important than any other single work in the Fraser Studio Collection.’”
To illustrate the idolization of Lincoln in this period, Dennis showed the premiere issue of Lincoln Lore, first published in 1929. This “was started by Dr. Louis A. Warren as a weekly one-sheet to spread the Lincoln gospel to the nation’s press by supplying content suitable for publication,” Dennis said. “Fred Reed assembled one of very few complete sets of Lincoln Lore. His collection included all 1,894 issues that came out before the newsletter was abandoned by its publisher in 2008, on the eve of the Lincoln bicentennial. It started up again in 2010.”
Illustrating a bit of exonumia from 1953, Dennis showed a “wooden nickel” that celebrated the 100th anniversary of Lincoln, Illinois. It proudly declares that Lincoln was “the only city in the United States named for Abraham Lincoln before he became famous.”
Dennis showed a 1920s whiskey label that used an iconic Lincoln portrait Americans would have known from the $5 bill of that generation. He quoted Fred Reed’s observation of the power of Lincoln in marketing: “To work successfully, advertising must strike a resonant chord in the viewing public. Americans are thoroughly inculcated with the universal image of Abraham Lincoln, his biography and character. The Lincoln icon is a shorthand symbol that advertisers can employ to quickly suppress viewer resistance and close a sale.” The subtext of the whiskey label, Dennis said, is clear: Old Empire Straight Whiskey is as reliable as Honest Abe.
Lincoln, the Icon, 1959 to 2009
Of this era Dennis said, “Here we see Lincoln transformed. The iconography of Lincoln, his visual appearance, is appropriated for secondary purposes. He’s used to advertise computers, insurance, pharmaceuticals, and more. His face becomes marketing shorthand for integrity, honesty, and good value. And it’s also used in some strange ways.”
Dennis presented a case study of what Fred Reed called the finest of all Lincoln photographs, the so-called “Gettysburg Lincoln.” “On November 8, 1863,” he said, “President Lincoln visited Alexander Gardner’s photo studio in Washington, DC. This was eleven days before his famous speech at Gettysburg. Gardner had Lincoln’s unruly hair brought to order. The president’s suit was pressed and neat. He sat upright. The photographer took many portraits of Lincoln that day. This one is both dramatic and intimate.”
Surprisingly, Dennis noted, before 2009 it had never been used on federal paper money, stamps, or other official obligations. In 2009 a cropped version was used to illustrate one of four commemorative U.S. postage stamps.
“Then, finally, it did inspire a coin,” Dennis said, “specifically, Abraham Lincoln’s 2010 entry in the Presidential dollar series. Sculptor-engraver Don Everhart used Gardner’s photograph as the basis for his design. It was the first fully facing portrait ever used in United States coinage. Fred Reed loved this coin. He called it a masterpiece – and he said it completely destroyed the Mint’s former unwritten, and unreasonable, rule against front-facing portraiture. He said, ‘Don Everhart is to be commended for providing the American people with a truly stunning interpretation of Lincoln, and a wonderful addition to our nation’s coining heritage.’”
Dennis recalled Fred lamenting that most Americans will never see and hold this coin, even though 97 million were minted. “The reason is because most Americans prefer paper dollars, and the paper $1 bill is still being produced. Most Presidential dollar coins minted for circulation ended up sitting in bags in Treasury and Federal Reserve vaults.”
Dennis gave several other examples of uses of the Alexander Gardner “Gettysburg Lincoln” portrait. An engraving of it was used in 1965 in an advertisement for the United States Banknote Corporation. “The engraving showcases the firm’s creative work,” Dennis said, “but it’s also an example of advertising shorthand. The image of Abraham Lincoln is more than just a face – it’s used to embody the very concept of integrity.”
“Today we’re so familiar with the image of Abraham Lincoln that we can play with it,” Dennis said. He recalled absurdist print and television advertising campaign from 2006 that took Lincoln’s familiar image far afield: “A groggy man with insomnia is visited by characters from his past dreams. They miss him, and they want him to take a sleep aid. The main characters are a talking beaver, and Abraham Lincoln playing chess. The ads were confusing as hell, but they caught the public’s attention.”
He showed another print ad, for Orange-Flavored Abraham Lincoln Head lollipops. Dennis questioned what such ads really have to do with Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed the slaves and won the Civil War. “Is this the man who preserved the Union, and paid for it with his life?” he asked rhetorically. “Or is this him?” He concluded the 1959 to 2009 era with a photo taken by Alexander Gardner on February 5, 1865. “The glass negative cracked,” Dennis said, “and the resulting prints show the fault – some say it was a foreshadowing of the assassin’s deadly shot to the president’s head, two and a half months later. Cracked plate or not, you can read a million stories in Lincoln’s face, aged by political turmoil and by war.”
Dennis mentioned that Fred Reed’s second book on Lincoln in numismatics debuted in 2013. “It was even bigger than the first,” he said, “and we brainstormed other new books. In November 2013, Fred sent me a proposal for a richly illustrated biography of James Earle Fraser and Laura Gardin Fraser. He called them ‘the first family of American sculpture and coinage.’” Then, Dennis recalled, “a month later, in December of 2013, Fred suffered a massive stroke.”
“In January 2014 his daughter let me know that Fred was seriously ill and focusing on his recovery. Fred and I communicated only very rarely after that. He never really recovered and he passed away seven years later. Fred’s daughter said she knew he woke up in Heaven after his final stroke in July of 2021, ‘swinging his arms and snapping his fingers the way he had done when he was happy.’ It’s been four years now since Fred Reed was buried with full military honors at the Dallas / Fort Worth National Cemetery.”
After this first part of his presentation, Dennis discussed some Lincoln coins and medals made since 2009, when Fred’s first book was published.
“Impressive” was Fred Reed’s word for the 2009 silver dollar commemorating the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth. The obverse portrait, designed by Justin Kunz and engraved by Don Everhart, was inspired by Daniel Chester French’s famous sculpture of the president that sits inside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. “It’s a portrait of quiet strength and resolve,” Dennis said, “one of my favorite coinage portraits of the modern era.” The reverse features 43 words from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “beautifully laid out and decorated, designed and engraved by Phebe Hemphill.”
Dennis noted that mintage was limited to 500,000 across all product options. “The coins went on sale in February and sold out within six weeks,” he said. “This coin was a blockbuster. How often do commemoratives these days even reach sales of 100,000, much less half a million?” Surcharges from the sales were paid to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission to further its work in planning the celebration of Lincoln’s bicentennial and the continued study of his life.
Dennis then explored a new program launched by the United States Mint in 2018, producing silver Proof versions of its historic Presidential medals. Each medal weighs 1 ounce and is made of 99.9% silver. The Abraham Lincoln medal features a profile portrait by George T. Morgan. The reverse has biographical text with oak and laurel decorations, and a wreath circled by a serpent with its tail in its mouth – an ancient symbol of immortality.
“I know Fred Reed would be pleased, and not at all surprised, to learn that the Lincoln medal is one of the best-sellers in this series,” Dennis said. “Sales have reached 20,380. Only four presidents have outsold Lincoln: George Washington (36,529), Thomas Jefferson (24,962), and John Adams (24,136).” He noted, however, that the Lincoln medal went on sale in May 2023, so it’s been available for less than 2½ years, while the Washington, Adams, and Jefferson medals have been on sale for almost 7 years.
“If we look at medal sales averaged over time,” Dennis said, “Adams has averaged 287 per month, Jefferson 297, Washington 434, and Lincoln the highest average of 728. In another context: Lincoln sales are 60% higher than both his predecessor, James Buchanan, and his successor, Andrew Johnson, both of which also went on sale in 2023.”
He then made an illustrated case study of the four new cents minted in 2009 for Lincoln’s bicentennial. The coins celebrated his birth in 1809 and stages of his life and career. “This coin program had such promise,” Dennis said, “but it turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in modern U.S. coinage. There was no organized national effort to promote collector interest. Even if there had been, people rarely found the new cents in circulation. Their distribution was widely scattered and seemed haphazard. If you wanted to build a set from pocket change, like you could with the State quarters, you’d face real challenges.”
He described the mintages as very low, especially for a subject with such universal appeal: “Combined, the four 2009 cents amounted to 2.35 billion coins. Sounds like a lot. But it’s far less than half the coinage of cents in 2008, and about a third of 2007.” What was to blame? Dennis noted, “The economy was lagging, so commercial demand was low – the United States was in a recession. And there was already a backlog of cents in the Federal Reserve’s supply chain.”
He gave the third coin in the series as an example. It illustrates Lincoln’s “Professional Life in Illinois.” The Philadelphia Mint struck 316 million for circulation. In Colorado, the Denver Mint made another 336 million. “With more than 650 million Illinois cents minted for pocket change,” Dennis said, “you might expect these coins to be common – but they’re surprisingly scarce in circulation. Even a quantity that large is only two coins for every man, woman, and child in the United States. In other words, if you own a roll of 50 of these coins, you’re hoarding the lifetime allotment for yourself and 24 of your neighbors.”
As a final case study of Lincoln in American numismatics, Dennis told about the April 2009 meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The CCAC reviewed more than a dozen design candidates for what would be a new reverse for the Lincoln cent, starting in 2010. “This was another big deal,” Dennis said. “The new coin would take its place as the next generation’s Wheat cent or Memorial cent.” The legislation for the new design aimed to recognize President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States as a single and unified country.
Dennis explained the process by which the CCAC reviewed and analyzed the design candidates for the 2010 cent, finally recommending Design 13, the Union Shield. He pointed out that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had the final say and he also chose the Union Shield, “and that’s the one-cent coin we’ve had for more than 15 years now.”
Designer Lyndall Bass was a member of the Artistic Infusion Program, and “this is her only work that’s been featured on a U.S. coin,” Dennis said, “but what a start! With more than 50 billion cents minted since 2010, it’s one of the most widely seen works of modern American art. It’s not a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. But it’s a symbol for his greatest achievement, and in that sense a uniquely important numismatic image of his presidency.”
The Lincoln cent continues to lead what Dennis calls “a dual life” – the most popular “classic” collector coin and also one of the most popular modern coins. “The cent is the coin that helped make the image of Abraham Lincoln ubiquitous – everywhere, all the time, seen and recognized by everybody,” Dennis said. “From personal experience working as Whitman’s publisher, I know that many active hobbyists collect Lincoln cents. So do people who don’t consider themselves numismatists, but simply enjoy saving interesting coins. Measured by reader interest, ongoing numismatic research, and sales of folders, albums, and other hobby supplies, I’d say that only the State quarters have matched their broad popularity among currently circulating coins.”
He says there are so many Lincoln cents in circulation, there’s no danger of them disappearing any time soon. “And the recent decision at the Executive level to stop minting them – which is a suspension of coinage, not an end to the denomination – could even increase their popularity.”

Last and First – Currency Issued by the Fourth Oldest Bank in Illinois
Morris Illinois was a prime spot for commerce in the mid-1800s. The Illinois & Michigan Canal was located to the south of town, and new railroad tracks to the north. In the early 1860s the country and economy were going through major changes due to the civil war. The federal government&srquo;s banking system had collapsed in 1836, leaving citizens wondering what was on the economic horizon. Gold, silver, and copper coinage were in short supply. The federal paper currency was not much better. Grundy County in general, and Morris in particular, was feeling the same pinch. A local Morris bank issued state backed paper currency for a short time until Abraham Lincoln and the Secretary of the Treasury came up with a plan for the country, The National Bank Act of 1863. Now a new bank in Morris could issue National Bank notes backed by bonds to keep the Grundy County economy moving. See and hear the stories surrounding the last of the obsolete currency, and the first of the National Bank currency, issued in Grundy County. |
