Prototypes & Errors
	June 2008, narrow dies, new style sticker Collection of the author Yes, it's a full invert error - this is not Photoshopped.
	Undated, narrow dies Collection of the author Here's a cool pair: one is inverted and the other is not. Wonder how that happened!
	Undated, narrow dies Collection of the author This vanity plate is incorrectly captioned as Apportioned - that type would have a TRK prefix, and can't come as a vanity anyway (as far as I know).
	Undated, narrow dies Collection of the author Took me a second to figure this one out, but there's something missing from this plate - either an owl or a catmount.
	January 2007, narrow dies, new style sticker Photographed in use Subtle but important error on this one - this plate is a truck plate without the TRK prefix. The result is a slightly off-center number disguised as a passenger plate. However, there are 3 reasons why I'm nearly positive this is an error: 1) The slight but noticeable shift to the right, leaving just enough room for the TRK prefix 2) Truck plates are currently in the B series, passenger plates are in the E series, and this plate is a natural '07. 3) It was mounted to a Ford F-150 pickup, which should have a truck plate.
	July 2007, narrow dies, new style sticker Photographed in use Here's an interesting error: a standard truck plate with a Special Purpose caption. Special Purpose Truck plates always begin with S (see the page for this type) - they are not formatted like regular plates. Furthermore, this plate was on a private truck, not a piece of special equipment.
	October, narrow dies, new style sticker Photographed in use Another caption error. This one is more obvious - this low number passenger plate on a VW Golf should definitely not have a State Agency caption.
	2005, narrow dies Collection of the author This is a proposed design for a future plate, but it's embossed! This is the only embossed plate from Vermont I have ever seen.
	2005, narrow dies Collection of the author Interesting color choice.
	2005, narrow dies Photographed at Trexlertown plate meet Again... interesting idea.
	Unknown date, flat Picture from Mike Wiener This is a fairly unpleasant design for Vermont plates if you ask me.
	Unknown date, flat Picture from Mike Wiener This one is even worse.
	Unknown date, flat Picture from Mike Wiener This is a pretty appealing design when properly debossed, but it's not very appetizing as a flat plate.
UPDATE: Vermont was supposed to switch to flat plates but apparently has decided not to. I am no longer sure whether a new design (even if debossed or embossed) is in the works.
