Type III is defined by breaks in the outer lines at both top and bottom. Many Type III stamps have breaks that were created or enlarged by plate wear. Since the wear occurred over a period of time, the majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) has small breaks in at least one line. This example has a very wide break at top and a substantial 2.5mm+ break at bottom.
With 1998 P.F. certificate.
