While I agree the above meter is an IA3 (Type 3), I don't think the Postage Meter Catalog goes into the greatest detail as to the denomination of the meter being over $1 in value. I think I would be more interested in the fact that the meter is imprinted in blue ink (rather than the typical red ink that was most common for the period).
Quote: I have updated the H2 listing in the catalog to include a value type with a 1/2 cent. It still has to go through a review process I am sure.
Re-check the catalog. I think you'll find the H2 listing for the N.P.M. meter DOES have a value type (with the 1/2 cent replacing the squiggly lines at the end of the denomination.) The meter numbers for that variety are said to extend from 6061-7093, which fits within the example previously posted.
Quote: The wavy lines on the one on the right are 5mm long.
Also, the left example has the ability to print fractional postage as evidenced by the ":" to the right of the denomination. The right example does not have that option.
