Abraham Lincoln Memorabilia and Signature Autographs

Abraham Lincoln memorabilia and autographs are near the top of most collector's lists. Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, served in office from March of 1861 to April of 1865, when he was tragically assassinated. Abe Lincoln's autograph has been a prime target for forgers, and authenticity issues make it an expensive piece of U.S. historical memorabilia. A card or cut Abraham Lincoln signature from a document will run approximately $5,000 with the proper
authentication.
I recently saw a signed full one page letter signed on eBay for a $16,000 asking price. Most of the time, Lincoln signed only "A. Lincoln" - so autographs with his full name can be worth double the amount due to their increased scarcity.
