2012 All sheet or pane issues have plate numbers in four corners (UL, UR, LL, LR) unless otherwise specified. Denominations in parentheses are Forever stamps, if first class rate, or nominal rate, if service-inscribed. Coil stamps have plate numbers at the bottom of single stamps and appear at the interval specified. Plate numbers and copyright markings for self-adhesive booklet stamps appear on a peelable strip within the pane. New plate number P22222 reported in January 2012 for the 20˘ Washington coil stamp first issued in 2011 (Scott 4512) USPS announced a “reissue” of the 2011 Go Green “forever” stamps (Scott 4524) in association with Earth Day, April 22, 2012. However, this is nothing more than a marketing push for stamps from the original print run of 160 million. It is not a new printing or variety.
