Lock Haven University (1999)

FORMAT 1: "L/H"00000 to current high on www base. On 2/14/06 I spotted a Lock Haven University plate with a very high number, L/H10036.  This would suggest that over 10,000 plates have been issued.  This seems very unlikely judging by the small size of this school.  It was not on the visitPA base, and there was nothing else remarkable about the plate. 

FORMAT 2:"L/H"00000 to current high on visitPA base with color logo.

Moravian College (Est. 1742) (1990)

"M/O"00000

 

 

 

I don't normally show two examples of the same type unless there are variations in formatting; however, I thought the unusual  plate number was worth posting.  Unfortunately the plate has a plastic cover which detracts from the image quality.
