This is the new numbering format following 999 ZZZ on the original series.
Joey Hurd reports 754 AAA as a low on the original series.
758 ZZY is the high on the original series, reported by Matthew Hicks on 2008-03-03.
0AA 89T is the low on the new series, reported by Jesse Wodstrchill on 2009-01-13.
Q, U, and V series skipped. The Y series started to appear fairly early in the X series issue. The interesting thing about the Y and Z series plates is that they do not have the screened sticker boxes at the bottom, but they do have a recessed area in the center of the plate between the numbers and letters, which is where Missouri is now placing month and year stickers. The early X series plates reported so far still have the screened boxes in the lower corners, but Matthew Hicks has reported 422 XTK as the lowest steel plate with the recessed center area so far. He also reports the XLZ series at the highest he has seen in the original format. Eric Sivertsen reported 443 YBP as the lowest Y series plate seen, with no screened boxes, but with the recessed box in the middle. Matthew Hicks reports that the new plates in the Y and Z series with the recessed sticker box in the center are made of steel, but earlier issues of the current base have all been aluminum. Note: Mike Macik reports the XLY, XMN, and XNM series with both the screened sticker boxes and the recessed area in the center. Mike Macik reports that all Y (except for a short run of YZ- series that are steel) and Z series plates are aluminum, and most, if not all, X series plates are aluminum.
Matthew Hicks reports seeing 000 USA in Jefferson City on 2006-10-20, which is odd because the entire U series was skipped. This was not likely a personalized plate because it was embossed and personalized plates are flat. Mike Macik saw 000 AAA, also in embossed form, so chances are both were issued to well-connected people. Also from Mike: Some plates have sticker wells large enough to accommodate an area the size of the month and year stickers, while the majority has an area equal to two month stickers. It is very sporadic, but has been seen in nAB nnW, nBW nnM, and a few other series.
