: hello to whoever reads this.i have a coin which is made of silver has lincolns bust in copper on the front and on the back it has they words cabin in which abraham lincoln was born. below are the words february 12 1809.if anyone can identify this coin id be very gratefull ive looked everywhere online thanks for the time.

First off it's not a coin it is a medal honoring his birth on that date.
I seriously doubt is made of silver especially with a copper overlay. (Silver medals that are two toned generally have gold plating to give contrast) Most likely yours is nickel alloy.
