NUMISMATIC NOTES
u. S. 3-Cent Pieces

The United States has
struck two different types of
Scent pieces. The first, a
silver coin minted from 1851
to 1873, is the smallest coin
ever issued by this country.
The second was issued from
1865 to 1889 in a new nickel
composition.
This metal, an alloy of
nickel, copper and some zinc.
was originally proposed by
DR.. Lewis Feuchtwanger for
use in the manufacture of
cents. AS finally adopted by
the Mint it contained a 75-
Is ratio of copper and nickel.
The Scent silver piece, due
to its small size, was never
very popular. In fact, during
its last ten years of issue
1863 to 1879 it was not
struck for general circulation
but only in proof.
The diverse of the Scent
silver contains a star with a
small shield in the center.
There are three different
varieties of this star. one with
no lines bordering the device
1881 to 1889. a second with
three outlines on the border
(1854-1858) and a third with
two outlines 1889 to 1879.
The reverse bears a large
c with the Roman numeral
III inside. From 1854 to 1873
an olive sprig and three ar
rows appear above and below
the III respectively.
The first nickel Scent
pieces were issued partly to

redeem the Scent currency
in use in that day of scarce
copper and partly to facili-
tate postal transactions. The
issue was discontinued be-
cause it was so close to the
size of a dime that it caused
confusion.
There are no type varia-
tons in this series. The 1877
and 1873 are the scarcest
dates and we're issued only
in proof.
All the Scent nickel pieces
were struck at Philadelphia.
So were all the silver pieces
except the 1851 coin which
was also struck at New Or
leans.

BY A. j. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

A standard print grade
chart that enables photog-
rapher and their clients to
talk the same language"
when discussing degrees of
lightness or darkness-as well
as contrast-in a photo
graphic print was recently
announced by the Photog-
raphers Association of Amer
lea.
The chart, which bears
actual Photographic prints as
guides, permits one to specify
a prints values in a way
which could not easily be
misunderstood. 1t helps pho
tographers describe a print
without becoming too tech
nical.
Representing the first
maj " move to establish such
tandardS, the chart was de-
veloped in consultation with
users in advertising and the
graphic arts. Field tests in
dictate it should win general
acceptance, according to
Claude Palmer, chairman of
the PAA Commercial Steer
ing Committee. The chart
was developed over a FIVE
wear period.
The chart bears three &C
tual 5x7-inch glossy prints.
Made from the same mega
tive, they vary in depth,
contrast and general effect.
The prints are designated
as type T. type B and type
c prints. Type A is a deep.
soft print best for some
photographic purposes. Type
B is a normal print generally
suited to fine letterpress and
other uses. Type c is a light.
contrasty print as might be
specified for newspaper re-
production. Proper termi-
nology and usual uses Of
prints appear beneath each.
A NEWLY PUBLISHED
manual, Photography IN

fist Elgin Ciampi. provides
a "how-to" approach to this
fascinating new field. It
contains a complete, concise
guide to techniques based
on the actual experiences of

Great Britain. which handles

northern and eastern shores OF
the Arabian peninsula, forcibly
installed two local potentates in
Buraimi while the question OF
sovereignty over the GASES was
being considered by an interna-

they broke off the arbitration.
This issue Of Buraimi, Saudis
insist. is fully as important to
them as the Suez Canal problem,

on the agenda.
The United States agreed only
reluctantly to include Buraimi
