Note from Donna Rajotte | Some differences between this version and the original Sennett Security printing: The flag image on the new version is much sharper. The new Avery version has a perf gauge of 11.2 x 11 and has a small 2003 date, the original measures 10.5 x 10.8 with a larger 2002 date. Also the die-cut at the intersection of four stamps is more of a straight line than on the Sennett version. The front cover of the Avery booklet has a much larger picture of the stamp, a small 2003 date, and no line through the 37 unlike the Sennett issue. The back cover has a larger bar code, larger USPS item number, and the plate number V1111 in the white box containing the barcode and item number. |
