    This is one of the best videos about collecting 1d reds for a beginner i have ever seen, i have just got into stamp collecting and this is very helpfull .
    keep up the good work, a 2d blue video would be good as well.

      Thank you for your kind comment. That's a good idea about the 2d blue, so watch this space.

    Excellent introduction to the Penny Reds. THANK YOU! Even though, as beginner collector, I know very little about different plates etc. I could follow and learn something. Very well set out.

    Thanks for this excellent overview of the Penny Red era!
    As you pointed out, there are numerous ways to collect these, most of which are reasonably "budget friendly".
    I know of people who try to collect all 240 stamps from a particular plate or plates, and others who focus on a particular plate position and try to collect one stamp from each plate.
    The postmark interests from 1844 onwards (after the Maltese Cross was discontinued) include trying to collect a stamp from each of the thousand or so numbered post offices, or collecting the various styles that were used over time from a particular post office or region, such as London.
    Also worth mentioning that the early plates used to print 1d Reds (plates 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11) were the exact same plates used to print the 1d Blacks. In many cases it is possible to identify (and collect) stamps that show where repairs were conducted to these early plates as they succumbed to wear and tear,
    Thanks again!

      Never found one earlier than plate 81 myself let alone a matching pair, one day I'll stump up the cash and add a pair to the colllection I guess ✌😧

    This is a great overview of the many different aspects of Penny Reds. I'm afraid plating is well beyond me with my eyesight and most of all my lack of knowledge. Given I am colour blind, the subtle differences in shades also makes that problematic for me. I have quite a few of the imperforates, but I can't be sure that I actually got the SG number that they were advertised as. I'm therefore happy that the post office eventually made the decision to record the plate numbers on the stamps because that gives absolute clarity. I haven't yet snagged a plate 225, but I'll keep looking and hoping for somewhat of a bargain.

    Great video. Nice and concise, with a clear overview of the history of the stamps, with ideas on how to start collecting. You mentioned forum sites to post pictures of stamps you have tried to plate, along with feedback. I'm trying to do the same thing with my stamps. Which sites did you find gave the best feedback ? Cheers.

      The Stamp Forum is good (thestampforum.boards.net/), also Stamp Communtiy (www.stampcommunity.org/). Stampboards.com has a lot of contributors, although admin can be a little frosty! Good luck with your plating.

    From what i have read, it was called penny red simply because of the choice of ink, apparently it took many a trial to find a good enough ink but the old inks were not as stable as they are now, fresh printed they would have looked a lot brighter, 100+ years of dirt and bleaching gives us a totally different stamp
    Was a dark day for my collection when i found out about shades and began a whole new addiction 😂
    Have to be carefull with the pink/mauve shades now that i know a lot of dealers "clean" their stamps before selling on, i like the dirt buildup, each stamp had its own path through time and its own unique layer of dirt giving it its own unique shade

    Quite some years ago the Great Britain Philatelic Society published a scholarly work entitled Plating of the Penny.. It ran into a number of volumes but I suspect it is no longer available. Might be worth checking.

    • @ourdadsstamps

      Yes, they are still around but very difficult to get hold of. However I have since discovered that the GBPS has made them available in a free PDF download from here www.gbps.org.uk/information/downloads/postage-stamps/Fisher-Brown%20Rearranged%20-%20Mike%20Batty%20(3rd%20edition,%202020).pdf

      They are very difficult to get hold of and very expensive. I was lucky enough to find a digital copy of the 1d red plates up to plate 45, but even that wasn't cheap. Bill Barrell has some but again, expect to pay a lot for them. www.barrell.co.uk/collections/gb-line-engraved-1d-reds-all-issues-incl-plating?page=2

    • @ourdadsstamps
      @ourdadsstamps  2 года назад

      To be honest, it is unlikely that they are. Scanning them at the highest resolution you can, will give you the best chance of reading the plate number

      I'm not sure I understand what you mean by RF. Most French stamps have RF, meaning Republished Francais. I believe there are also some US stamps with RF overprints but I don't know if they are valuable.
