Position #90

A Major Re-entry

Here we have a much more 'typical' type of re-entry, with strong doubling of the upper left corner of the design and the lower right corner, showing a distinctive counter-clockwise twist.

Note the UL 5 and its surroundings, the 'FI' of FIVE, the 'NE' and the corner ornament to its left, as well as the lines below the 'NE,' and the doubling of the lower portion of the outer right frameline.

A Major Misplaced Entry

This is undoubtedly the best of the plate varieties on this plate, showing a major misplaced entry.

Note the remnants of the 'NT' of CENTS in the bottom margin, as well as the strongly shifted lines through the 'F' of the UR FIVE, the 'DL,' and heavy marks in 'AND.'

The displacement here is a full 1.0mm downwards.
