The heavy dot in the "C" of CENT has been confirmed as constant and also has been confirmed on Positions 91 thru 100R10. The plating diagrams do not indicate this mark. This dot was probably a bit of matter that attached itself to the transfer roller when the plate was being made and should also appear on 6th row positions (51R thru 60R).
