While all NC plates have had hologram dating since 2000, there have been some made sporadically with undated scotchlite between SXD-6300 and SYA-7289 which are still in use.
It is suspected these are remakes of plates damaged during original production which were subsequently made on a different line to maintain production. NC normally used undated scotchlite on annual plates so it is possible these plates were made between runs of annual plates. |
