[QUOTE="krispy, post: 781599, member: 19065"]Darryl, Today I received my copy of [I]The Story of the American Bank Note Company[/I] by William H. Griffiths that I bought as a Christmas gift to myself. I had been looking for a copy and finally took advantage of a nice copy with free shipping offered through a seller I found on abebooks.com. For anyone considering this book it is an absolute must have, especially for currency collectors! It is wonderfully chocked full of sample engraved vignettes from actual plates. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I also have the same offset ghosting effect from the chart of page 31 that appears on the reverse side of the plate that lays over page 29. Below are some photos I made from my book. The light here today is cold gray and overcast. I [U]did[/U] minimally adjust the levels to show this ghosting effect, which is quite subtle and hard to photograph without blowing out the details under the light source.[/QUOTE]
