1 Excepting Scott No. 57, in each case where remainders were burned the quantity destroyed exceeded the number of
stamps printed in the Fourth Printing. Some quantities of each stamp printed in the Fourth Printing were sold
before stocks were removed from sale on December 31, 1896. Except for Scott No. 57, the quantity of Fourth
Printing stamps actually sold appears to be quite small based on estimates of surviving quantities. For example,
in the case of Scott No. 68, it is estimated ten sheets (500 stamps) survived from the Fourth Printing.
2 Most of Scott 53 were made from the purple color stamp (Scott 30). A small quantity of the mauve color stamp (Scott
30a) was overprinted, probably in the Second Printing. None of the violet color (Scott 30b) have been seen
overprinted.
3 All of the Scott 56 stamps are from the later printings of Scott
35 produced on a 100 subject plate with left and right margin copies (per sheet of 100) having straight edges.
4 All of the destroyed stamps were from the Fourth Printing,
leaving a balance of 240,865 Fourth Printing stamps sold at the Post Office.
5 Scott 59 was produced from the 5¢ ultramarine (Scott 39), for
which an uncatalogued variety is known. The variety consists of the stamps made from the 50 subject Die 1,
re-entered, plate. Erasure of the old frame lines caused stamps of the Die 1, re-entered, plate to have incomplete
tops on the ovals surrounding the value numbers in the upper corners. Most of Scott No. 59 was produced from the
later 100 subject plate stamps of Scott No. 39. The Fourth Printing of Scott No. 59 included some quantity of Die 1,
re-entered stamps, used examples of which are always dated in mid-1895. An estimate of 12,500 is given for Die 1,
re-entered stamps of Scott No. 59.
6 Most of Scott 60 were made form the blue-green stamp (Scott 33a).
A small quantity of the yellow-green (Scott 33) are known, probably from the Second Printing.
7 Most of the Scott 65 stamps were made from the vermilion (Scott
31a). A tiny quantity of the orange-red (Scott 31) was overprinted.
