Figure 1. (Below) Small dot on the inside of the left plume remains as illustrated in the Ashbrook/Neinken plating diagrams. The plating digrams also illustrate small dots in the N and E of ONE. These copies do not show these marks well or at all.

Figure 2. (Below) The GUIDE DOT position at the right plume remains.

Figure 3. (Below) NEW PLATING MARK. A heavy dot above and to the left of the O of POSTAGE. This is not illustrated in the plating diagrams but is confirmed here as consistent. This mark MAY appear on 29L1L but the archive does not have this position as of this date.
