## About this plate

THE PREVIOUS WEST VIRGINIA STANDARD BASE. It earns its place in an L2 pass for one reason beyond being the predecessor: it demonstrates, within a single unchanged design, that a US state will ADD A SERIAL ARRANGEMENT mid-base when a block exhausts. The 2023 overlap year is the honest shape of a rollout, with old stock issuing on.

## How numbers are issued

reported: series reset to A for all months from the January 1995 base, two-letter series progressing in standard order (AA-AZ, BA-BZ ...), with series S and SA-SZ reserved for optional Scenic plates
