Question Regarding US Scott 528A

I have a 2 cent Washington I believe to be a 528a. There is an odd feature that I noticed in the N of Cents. Has anyone come across this oddity before?

Actually looks like a 528B. With a gashed letter.

There are lots of plate varieties with these offset printings. French lists this as 528B variety # 123 in his "Encyclopedia of Plate Varieties on U.S. Bureau-Printed Postage Stamps" as a "diagonal line in N of CENTS. Dot in t(op) gutter over E of POSTAGE.", although his tracing isn't as good as the Bureau Specialist article of 12/1948. I recall another thread about this same variety some time ago.

I didn't even think to look in the French book, which is only about a foot from the PC screen.

You asked about this same stamp in May 2019.

I'm sorry. Honestly didn't recall coming across this one in my collection before. My memory isn't what it once was.
