Sample plates are made for Law Enforcement agencies so new plate designs can be identified between states. Collectors find
these desirable as they are often in excellent condition.

A "Sample" on the short lived "Polyvend" base of 74-76.
These were the mid 76 replacements. Same as before but now sporting the "Constitution State" slogan like the Polyvend
plates. In 1980, the DMV went to a single plate system to save money.
Someone in 1987 decided that we needed to go back to a two plate system. So to distinguish which cars now had two plate registrations,
they revised the plate to carry a "Map" logo. They flip-flopped the slogan to also distinguish them. This series
is referred to as the "Map" series. These ran till the 2000 re-issue.
Passenger type, issued in 2000.
Combination type, issued in 2000.
Commercial type, issued in 2000.
