Argentina 1935-51 5 Pesos Plate Variety: "diagonal scratch on upper right"
The "diagonal scratch on upper right" plate variety is somewhat distinctive. I only have 5P1L's for it. Here are a few specimens. The last specimen has an additional plate scratch in the background that is quite remarkable.
This 5 Pesos plate study is divided into several major sections: there are several major plate varieties for which I have at least two specimens, and there are several minor plate varieties, represented here by one specimen. I also have a section for printing shifts, specimens with overall plate wear, and multiples showing at least one plate variety. Below, I include thumbnails to the major plate varieties. The thumbs are also linked. |

This last specimen has an additional plate scratch in the background that is quite remarkable. It also has a sctrach below "EP" of "REPUBLICA." This may be a separate plate variety.sh than others. If there is only one variety per plate, we at least know it is one column left of the right edge. |
