D6-100. COULD THIS BE HONEST ABE? My dad thinks there is a resemblance, yet I'm not sure how serious he is. Or, he may be telling me this because recently there was a daguerreotype on eBay that purportedly was of Lincoln. (The seller was asking MILLIONS, yes MILLIONS for his. Our "Lincoln" is much more reasonably priced)! This dag depicts a wide-eyed man looking slightly to his left. He has a low beard, large ears, and does look somewhat like Lincoln, but he seems a bit less prominent than the real man might have been. The sixth plate has very odd looping oxidation on the right side and hugs the oval opening against the remainder of the mat. Gold tinted flowers encircle a floral pattern on the front of the split leather case. $225
