A cross gutter block showing all four plate numbers, from a press sheet of the Ronald Reagan issue (Scott 3897)

37¢ Ronald Reagan (Scott 3897):  S1111

A constant variety of the Reagan stamp occurs on position 18 (the center stamp in the bottom row) of all panes of 20:  the Pane Position diagram is printed too high. As a result, part of the Pane Position diagram is printed on the bottom perforations of the position 18 stamp. Of the total production of 170 million Reagan stamps, five percent or 8.5 million stamps are position 18. Of these, 1/6 have the left color block filled in (the UL pane position), 1/6 have the right color block filled in (the UR pane position, and 2/3 have neither color block filled in (Center Left, Center Right, LL and LR positions). Scott has not assigned a minor catalog number to this variety. No plate number appears on the position 18 stamp, but is mentioned here because it may be of interest to collectors of other marginal markings.
