I just received the new flag PNC P111 and the is a faint dotted black line 1 left of the PN.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Very hard to see in the scan.
tough to see on the scans, and I'm a little rusty on printing technology, but I wonder if that's just a joint line pair, where the rotary plate completes its rotation and begins again

Took me a while to check, broken leg, but there is a tagging gap between the left stamp and the plate number stamp. Still it doesn't explain the black dots on the left stamp, or does it?

Amsd, that is possible, but all the coil stamps I have seen have the joint line to the right of the plate numbered stamp. The plate number is always on the last stamp of the plate'
Keith, any time two plates are abutting one another you're going to have a joint line. In modern printing presses though they can be very hard to see. Some stamps that have some nice lines are the 25 cent Bee coils where they exist in several colors. Some of the Flag coils also have visible lines where the plates meet,
I was asked to post a high resolution image. 1200dpi. disregard the red line in the the strips, its from the scanner. It is the black dots between the strips and the perfs.
