Scott C13, Plate number single 20079R
 

2011

All sheet or pane issues have plate numbers in four corners (UL, UR, LL, LR) unless otherwise specified.

With this year's issues, USPS standardized the corner and orientation for the tiny date, which previously could appear anywhere, and occasionally not at all. Beginning with 2011, it appears horizontally in the upper left corner.
