Lincoln didn't drop out of school because he never went to school. Lincoln grew up in the Kentucky wilderness and was born in a log cabin. He learned to read when his stepmother taught him and he taught himself law. His father had Lincoln as a young man work for the other farmers in the area. He was a tall strong boy and had the nickname "the rail splitter." In this time in history a father could do this and keep any wages that were earned until they reached 21.

Where does the phrase drop the dime come from?

The term "to drop a dime"comes from American street slang. When a drug dealer in the1960s would find it advantageous, they would call the police from a pay phone and snitch on a rival. The cost of a local phone call in the day was 10 cents, thus the term to drop a dime was coined.

What is the value of an 1881 Indian head wheat penny in perfect condition?

"In Perfect Condition" is a relative term -- with different meanings for different people. There is a standard grading scale used for coins -- called the Sheldon Scale -- that rates coins numerically from 1 to 70, with 70 being "perfect". A "perfect" coin, from before the 1960's, is pretty much unheard of. You need to get your coin professionally graded to get an accurate estimate of its value. "Perfect" in your eyes may turn out to be only extra fine (grade 40) or about uncirculated (grade 50) to a professionally trained grader -- a BIG difference in value. An extra fine Indian head cent -- one that has sharp details, but visible wear spots -- for an 1881 is worth about $12.00 An about uncirculated coin will have complete details with nice mint luster and only the lightest evidence of rub on only the highest points of the design -- an 1881 is worth about $16.00 A truly uncirculated coin will show no evidence of wear -- all design details will be sharp & complete with no softness whatsoever, it will have flashy mint luster with no breaks, and attractive natural color -- an 1881 will be worth $30-$50 or more, depending on color and contact marks. If your coin has been cleaned or altered in any way, its value will drop severely. A nice uncirculated 1881 coin that was worth about $50 but has been cleaned will now be worth only a couple dollars. Also, your coin isn't a "wheat penny", it's just an Indian head cent. Wheat pennies were made from 1909 to 1958 and have the familiar picture of Abraham Lincoln on the front side. I hope this helps, Dan
