Very interesting and informative, thanks Paul. I recently purchased my 1st Penny Black (fairly common Pl.6 with a Coventry Red MX and 4 good margins ). Starting to read through the Stanley Gibbons Queen Victoria Volume 1 Part 1 catalogue which is very detailed. Just need to persuade the wife to buy some more Victorian stamps some time!
Sounds like a nice 1d Black. There's something about those red MX cancellations on the black engraving that is so irresistible! If you're interested in the 1d Reds, there's a brand new book just come out called "Imperforate Penny Reds. A Guide to Collecting, Plating and Valuing the Imperforate Penny Red Stamps." by Daniel Matthews. It's available online at £25 in the UK. Dan really knows his stuff and I hear the book is excellent!
I collect the GB 1d Plates (letters in all 4 corners - visible plate numbers in the enginework at the sides) but only used in Ireland! Been doing this for 20+ years, less than 10 plates to go...
@@psarj Hi, makes sense. I recently rediscovered the pleasure of stamps, and being in the UK but not from the UK I'm quite fascinated with the early stamps. Looking to build my knowledge around it. Thanks.
@@emanuelsousa8634 As I mentioned in the video, the Great Britain Philatelic Society (GBPS) is a great resource. Their website is a rich source of information, much of it available to non-members.
In the presentation it is explained that only the penny red stamps printed from 1864 through 1879 had plate numbers engraved in the borders. They also had letters in all four corners. All of the earlier penny stamps had no plate numbers on them, and had stars in the upper corners. The plate numbers of these earlier stamps can be determined using other methods.

@@JesusJimenez-tt5gt The other methods involve examining the characteristics of the stamp, such as the positions of the corner check letters. This is a complicated area that requires having access to the correct resources (books and images). I might do a presentation about it next year.
