Due to significant vertical displacement of 78-79, overprints exist with "10" over "1909", "1909" only, or "10" only. Copies with overprints "909" and "1" or "9" and "190" are also found. With such displacements of the end marks there are only "1", "190", "909" or 9. From 76, 77 and 79 there are with "1990" instead of "1909" and from 77s "1969" and "1999".
