PLATING NOTES: This image below is part of a vertical strip of 3 consisting of 59L1E, 69L1E and 79L1E. The plating diagrams only show one plating mark west of Ornament B, which is cutoff on this copy. The only other plating information is that the top curved line is weak, which here is partially obscured by cancellation ink.

Figure 1. (Below) Close up detail of Ornament Q, which is incomplete and the area below is weak. The Ashbrook/Neinken diagrams show this area as complete. This has been confirmed on another copy.

Figure 2. (Below) Part of a vertical pair consisting of 79L1E and 89L1E. Top line is weak over the OS of POSTAGE.
