This set contains nothing of much value or unusual interest. It is simply a self-indulgence, shared here with you.
My intent is to build a set of
modern US passenger plates. Modern is a broad term, and may include plates
as old as from the 1980's, when graphic plates began to become popular.
This set will not be from any particular year,
but in general they will be
embossed or debossed plates rather than screen-printed (flat). Other than
that I am choosing to go for the graphic design that I like and can obtain.
In a very few cases there are more than one for a particular state, based simply
on my likes. You will see also a very few older plates with no
graphics, just because I happen to particularly like them.
This collection also includes the populated US overseas territories including the
defunct Panama Canal Zone,
and the leased Guantanamo Bay territory. For the territories there are in
some cases both modern and historic plates.
Note that I am not including plates used in other
countries by US Forces, though I do have or have had plates of this sort.

![]() This Desert-scape graphic design has been used since 1996. Early plates had embossed serials in the format 123ABC. The plate above is in the later ABC1234 format, which from its start at AAA0001 had flat serials. I am hoping to get an embossed passenger plate.

DELAWARE | ![]() Although my aim is to include only modern embossed plates with graphics, this is impossible when it comes to Delaware. This state went straight from the unusual riveted type shown above, to the flat screened type shown below, used there now for many years, and with no graphics. ![]() |

This 1973 passenger plate
is not in pristine condition but it is special to me as I transited
the Panama Canal in 1973 and actually set foot in the Canal Zone
when we brieflydocked at each end. The Canal Zone was absorbed
into Panama in 1979. |
