Position 67L4,

Type IIIa, Relief C
Issued both imperforate and perforated.

Plating Notes:
The Neinken plating diagram also illustrates a number of plating marks in the left margin. The centering of this patient does not allow these features to be shown. Additionally, Ornament U is "wiped out." This helpful plating feature has been confirmed as constant and is not illustrated in the plating diagrams.
