I'll guess AU53 BN (cleaned? or woodie? -- hard to tell from photograph) and PF 67 Ultra Cameo RB
They added a few wrinkles to the 24th one I believe. Mr. Cleveland has crows feet in the 2nd version. ;)
Oh my! Good thing he didn't call it a double die penny! LOL :eek: The two fastest ways to make a Lincoln Cent collector get all in a tiff. ;)
As always Lance, you have offered sound advice and gorgeous pictures. I would argue a bit that the Mac isn't really superior to a Window's PC for...
No offense, but this is the most complicated and ridiculous ideas I have heard. WAY too much work, and seriously, who is going to send an extra...
Cool. Well, your pics are nice, and it's a great hobby! I'm also a hobbyist. Nice work!
I'm mostly talking to x115 who I originally asked why he would have a set up like a Mark IIIDS if he wasn't a professional photographer. If you...

Sunlight is made of more than UV radiation. For example, have you heard of the VISIBLE light spectrum?? The degradation of things made of cloth...
Doug, you are right that such items fade. But curtains, carpets, rugs, furniture, paper, stamps, etc. all fade because of degradation of either...
I picked this one up as a conversational piece because of its history. It is from 1940 Italy, the year that Italy entered World War II as part of...
I can't let this thread "die". ;) This one came today. It is VERY small...but quite beautiful. I like the prominent flow lines. [ATTACH]
I know people are trying to be helpful, but this thread has become as if the OP asked if he should display a 1913 Liberty Nickel in direct...
That's cool. Now you have the problem that ordinary glass window allows almost no light in the UV spectrum to pass. So, you need a study that...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's likely more the WATER that caused the corrosion than the light. Any studies relevant to...
