Plate 4 Row 10 Column 4

Mark just under the "I" of Fiji.
Note that it is approximately 4 mm above and just to the right of the edge of the Round Tower.


Charlie Miller of San Jose, California very kindly provided me with this image. Charlie has found a similar mark on the Fiji 3d stamp in the same position. These two previously undescribed variations are both found on Plate 4. A write up can be found in the January 2001 issue of the "Pacifica" stamp
