1 Penny Plates

This issue first appeared in 1864. This line engraved stamp appears in shades of red with perf. 14.

I am seeking the following plate numbers for Great Britain 1 penny reds (Scott #33). I like to trade on the basis of equal catalogue value and only desire stamps which are at least very good in condition. If you find any stamps that I need, please email me the plate numbers from the want list, and I'll check to make sure that my needs are current. Feel free to send me any want lists that you have or refer me to any posted on your web site. I am only interested in trades at this point and will not be purchasing items that I need.

About Plate Numbers

The plates numbers are inscribed in the scroll work on both the middle left and right sides of the stamp. A strong magnifier is essential in order to read the tiny print.
