PLATING NOTES: The plating diagram for this position also illustrates a vertical line between Ornament A and Ornament B and a vertical line between Ornament L and Ornament M. These lines cannot be seen on these images and may simply not be consistent or only reveal themselves on sharper impressions. There also is a faint line of color in the E of POSTAGE (red arrows below) which is not illustrated in the Neinken diagram but appears consistent in the archive images.
