Best Answer

The coffin itself has been opened 5 times: December 21, 1865, September 19, 1871, October 9, 1874, April 14, 1887, and September 26, 1901.

In 1876 thieves tried to steal the remains and hold them for ransom. Abraham Lincoln's coffin has been moved 17 times, mostly due to numerous reconstructions of the Lincoln Tomb and fears for the safety of the President's remains. In 1900 Lincoln's coffin was buried in a huge cage 10 feet deep and then encased in four thousand pounds of concrete to prevent another attempt to rob the grave.
