Plate Flaw UR

Two dot-like flaws which are vertically aligned in the upper right margin. They can also be found in the upper left margin. It is worth noting that the stamp in the main image shows a small portion of a Montreal inscription. Is it possible that these dots were to help align the plate inscription? Reported by Guy Jeffery with six examples.


Plate Flaw in Zone 4
Plate Position: Very likely Position 5 of a later Montreal plate.
