Everybody knows and loves that Victorian classic, the Penny Red stamp.  But only a few knowledgeable collectors are aware of the full significance of the plate numbers from this classic British stamp of yesteryear.  Hidden within the borders of the stamp is the plate number and each number refers back to the original metal plate from which the stamp was printed.  And as each plate printed different quantities of Penny Reds, so the plate number is the secret key to the stamps rarity and true value.

Recently we have acquired a limited number of sets of 1858-79 Penny Reds - with one stamp from virtually every plate ever used.  This is probably the most comprehensive collection of Penny Reds ever offered.  The only plate numbers not represented are from the plates that were never used - the two rarest numbers, plate 225 and the infamous plate 77.  In all, 150 different stamps are here.

A fine used example of the Penny Red Plate Collection is now catalogued at £1223 and we can offer you the oppurtunity today to own an example for £448 below that catalogue value, for just £775.
