The Neinken plating diagram for this position does not provide the student much in the way of plating marks. The plating diagram illustrates blurs in the S and P of US POSTAGE and a few marks in the upper right ornaments. A confirming example reveals several other more definative plating marks.

FIGURE 1. (Below) Dots of color which are the remains of shortened Ornaments L and M. These can be helpful guides to confirming this position.

FIGURE 2. (Below) Faint horizontal lines of color cutting across the lower left plumes not illustrated in the plating diagram but confirmed here on two examples.
