The reference photos I had been using to&nbsp; attribute early date Large Cents can no longer be captured and copied.&nbsp; While still available for viewing, I had used them by capturing the&nbsp; image and them manipulating them to show particular features of the&nbsp; varieties and resorting them in a more user friendly way.</p><p><br /></p><p>But all good things come to an end and I appreciate the time where that was possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>This happened last night since I was in the process of capturing these images to recreate my personal attribution reference which was lost after my PC was wiped out from a virus.

This goes for all the Royal intellectual properties.
