Figure 1. (Below) Small plating mark above the O of ONE as shown in the Ashbrook/Neinken plating diagrams.

Figure 2. (Below) Detail view of guide dot.

Figure 3. (Below) Gap in the unnamed ornament between Ornaments Z/L. Many positions from this and other rows share this feature and thus is not unique to this position. It can on the other hand help confirm or eliminate positions when plating. This feature is not described in the Ashbrook/Neinken plating diagrams.

Figure 4. (Below) Small dot below the "N" of CENT. This mark is not illustrated in the plating diagrams.
