    Obverse

    “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

    “Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”

    “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

    Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)

    Nice to have it taken down so quickly!

    Is it just me or does Abe seem to have a smirk on his face?

    One thing I’ve noticed, but I could be wrong. When I contact the seller of a counterfeit coin, I sometimes attach pics of a genuine certified coin and other counterfeits identical to theirs. On the genuine coin I always have the lapel on Lincoln’s vest circled in red. The lack of doubling on the lapel is the first thing to check. It’s a dead giveaway. For some unknown reason the counterfeiters always overlook this. Anyway, my point is, could eBay be accessing the messages and looking at these pics in order to make a determination on authenticity?

    Yes, that’s a characteristic of this particular counterfeit.
