Questions still remain about Lincoln negative

Some questions were answered and others were not.

Seaford resident John Wroten's trip to the Smithsonian Institution last Thursday revealed the 5-inch by 7-inch glass negative he recently brought from relatives in Oklahoma is not the original negative used in producing the model photograph for the Abraham Lincoln five-dollar bill, but is a copy negative.

"We do more but we're still a little bit in the dark, as far as value," said Mr. Wroten. "There still is a little mystery."
