Whilst the Penny Black rightfully remains the world’s most famous stamp, the Twopenny Blue is often overlooked. Yet this is a stamp with more than twice the catalogue value of the Penny Black. Probably because so few exist.

The Twopenny Blue stamp was used to cover postage on packages weighing over half an ounce. Because sending any letter by post (let alone a small parcel) was alien to most people at the time, the stamp was very rarely used, and therefore issued in much smaller quantities than the Penny Black.

When a Twopenny Blue is discovered, knowledgeable collectors make a quick and important check to discover the stamp’s age. The reason being that because the stamp was produced for a number of years, the first editions from 1840 have by far the greatest value.

It’s fair to say that the Two Penny Blue is probably ten times as scarce as the Penny Black. However, over the last few months, we have worked with suppliers to locate a small quantity of good quality examples. Now you have the opportunity to own one of these amazing and historic stamps.
