65 signed Red Penny stamps. Perforated versions.
The Red Penny stamp was issued by Britain and first appeared on February 10, 1841. It was designed similarly to its predecessor - the Black Penny (which is known to be the first official postage stamp issued by the United Kingdom) which includes a profile of Queen Victoria based on an engraving by William Wyon. The reason for the change in color was the problem of the postmark on the Black Penny which was not visible due to its dark color. The Red Penny was in circulation for a long period, from 1841 to 1879. Due to the large number of plates from which the stamp was printed, there is a wide variety of minor differences between the stamps.
