Plates made from die 2 were numbered in the lower margins. Plate 2 is found with and without a
stop, and both occur with the bottom margin perforated or imperforate. Vokins suggested that 2 and
2. were separate plates available for use in parallel. Plate 3 has panes numbered 3A and 3B.
All three values of this set were printed in both dry and wet printings. Shrinkage of the wet printings
produced slightly smaller stamps, the size ranges from 17.25 mm (wet print) to 17.75 mm wide (dry
print). The horizontal perforations also vary between about 13.25 and 13.75.
