| | Penny Red - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Initially the stamp had no perforations, and had to be cut from the sheet using scissors in the same manner as for the penny black and the early printings of the Two pence blue. | | | Initially some of the same plates that were used to print the Penny Black were used to print the Penny Red and about 21 billion Penny Reds were printed by Messrs. | | | Perforations, (experimental gauge 16), first came into use in 1850 and were officially adopted in 1854, (in the same size as the experimental issue). |

| | MORE CINDERELLAS OF THE PENNY BLACK CENTENARY |
| | The Midwest Philatelic Society of Kansas City, Missouri, published a similar motif, combining the society’s triangular emblem with the Penny Black in a small souvenir sheet on yellow paper (Figure 3). | | | Certainly the artist’s caricature of Queen Victoria here was considerably less flattering than the lovely Wyon Medallion portrait after which the Penny Black stamp was modeled. | | | (Boris was VP of this club when I joined as a beginner over 25 years ago!) In the envelope was an old four-page thermofax checklist of over 80 different souvenir sheets issued in the U.S. for the Penny Black centenary. |

| | In Praise of the Penny Black |
| | The Penny Black that crowns this article is of exceptionally fine quality, its design fresh, its details sharply defined, almost as if it were chiseled from a block of Marmora marble. | | | The characters identify the position of the stamp on the engraved steel grid (or plate) from which a sheet of stamps is produced. | | | Who says that stamp collecting doesn't have dangers, real thrills, and derring-do? |

| | The Penny Black |
| | The portrait on the penny black is based on the Wyon city medal of 1837 which William Wyon modelled in 1834 when Princess Victoria was only 15. | | | Used examples with a light cancellation command a much higher premium on the market than heavily obliterated ones. | | | The Penny Black is not that rare a stamp as about 68 million were issued in 1840-41, today the price varies according to condition, since the stamps were cut by scissors, the best prices are for stamps which still have all four margins of the design intact. |

| | Penny Black: The Post Office, Rowland Hill |
| | She grew into a fine young woman with strong, shapely calves filling the finest of silk stockings, thighs that shaped her pencil skirt, a broad hip that could not but inspire awe, and a wasp waist that owed nothing to the manufacturers of corsets. | | | All anyone could determine was that the owner of the Rowland Manor Herbal Smoking Mixture factory seemed very pleased that the lad had managed to acquire the Mixture, for whenever young Albert's eyes glazed over in his beatific face, a more elemental look of satisfaction was usually observed on the face of Penny Black. | | | When the Post Office finally realised that the black in which the stamps were printed allowed those of a criminal disposition to remove the Maltese Cross frank quite easily, they changed it to the Penny Red by the simple expedient of using red ink. |

| | The Penny Black is readily available, but because of its significance is in great demand by collectors and therefore not cheap; in 2000 a used copy cost about US$200, and an unused copy about US$3,000. | | | When the printings in red were made the existing plates used for some of the black stamps were used as well as new plates purely for the red printings. | | | In addition to the general issue of the Penny Black postage stamps, a similar stamp was produced which had the letters V and R in the top corners replacing the stars. |

| | This largely matched an increase in popular literacy. | | | The Reform also called for a uniform low rate of one penny per half-ounce a letter, which made letters affordable for everyone and dramatically cut the accounting costs of the Royal Mail, who until then were logging each individual letter. | | | The Post Office had been founded as early as 1635. |

| | The Penny Black, is without doubt the best-known stamp in the world, but it was only the end result of a campaign for cheap postage that had been gaining momentum for more than 100 years. | | | This was the result of a decree of the Council of State in 1652, to allow correspondence to and from Members of Parliament and certain State Officials to pass free through the post. | | | Originally, the person who sent the letter only had to write the word "FREE" or "FRANK", his name, and then to affix his identifying seal, which was often the person's family Coat of Arms, on the letter with a blob of sealing wax. |

| | Penny Black CD Reviews |
| | For my money, the first track, "Come On," is the CD's best, with "Happy Everyday" and its irresistible riffage coming in a close second. | | | Many will say the CD is "too mellow." However, if the genre of melodic rock is to your liking, Penny Black is good stuff. | | | "Penny Black" is a collection of guitar-driven songs with pop-ish melodies and smooth vocals, given an extra oomph with solid bass and drum backbones. |
