This set of 4 stamps shows photomicrographs of snowflakes (ice crystals) and was issued on 5 Oct 2006 as single-sided panes of 20 stamps containing 5 instances of each stamp. Attributes of the die-cut edges are used to distinguish individual stamps in the Scott 4101-4104 set from Scott 4105-4116: 1) All four edges of every individual stamp in the Scott 4101-4104 set are serpentine die-cut; and 2) The die-cut gauge is 11¼ by 11, which produces 12 die-cut peaks/valleys horizontally and 13 peaks/valleys vertically. Additionally, the baseline of "2006" is significantly lower than the baseline of "USA 39" on Scott 4104-4104. |

This set of 4 stamps shows photomicrographs of snowflakes (ice crystals) and was issued on 5 Oct 2006 as double-sided booklets of 20 stamps containing 5 instances of each stamp. Attributes of the die-cut edges are used to distinguish individual stamps in the Scott 4105-4108 set: 1) Every individual stamp in the Scott 4105-4108 set has one or two straight, die-cut edges; and 2) The serpentine die-cut gauge is 11¼ by 11½, which produces 12 die-cut peaks/valleys horizontally and 14 peaks/valleys vertically. Additionally, the baseline of "2006" is approximately the same the baseline of "USA 39" on Scott 4105-4108. |

This set of 4 stamps shows photomicrographs of snowflakes (ice crystals) and was issued on 5 Oct 2006 as single-sided ATM panes of 18 stamps containing 5 instances of Scott 4113 and 4114, and 4 instances of Scott 4115 and 4116. Attributes of the die-cut edges are used to distinguish individual stamps in the Scott 4113-4116 set: 1) Every individual stamp in the Scott 4113-4116 set has zero, one, or two straight, die-cut edges; and 2) The serpentine die-cut gauge is 8 by 8, which produces 7 or 8 die-cut peaks/valleys horizontally and 8 or 9 peaks/valleys vertically. Additionally, the baseline of "2006" is approximately the same the baseline of "USA 39" on Scott 4109-4112. |
