The Penny Black

A Guide to Stamps of Great Britain

Great Britain is a nation of Stamp collectors, indeed the first stamp ever issued, the Penny Black was British. Philately is so common in England that many charities even accept Stamp Collections as donations. You won’t find United Kingdom written on the British stamp because stamps started in Britain and as such it’s only other countries who differentiate using the country name.

With over 11% of Britons calling themselves stamp collectors in one manner or another, all areas of philately are well represented online and information is readily available to you whether you are simply beginning a collection or investigating a rare stamp before you spend thousands of dollars on it.

Rear and collectable British stamps:

Some collectors are fascinated by the popular. Last year’s January 2010 series of rock icons (featuring Bowie, Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and Coldplay,) was certainly a big hit. In the United States Elvis Presley seems to be the king when it comes to popularity, however in Britain the Queen (that is the real one) has been recreated on millions of stamps throughout her entire reign (and of course her royal predecessors) with many special occasions creating new excuses to produce collectable lines. If you happen to be a collector of rare British stamps unfortunately the sky seems to be the limit as to what you may pay. A 6d Edward VII with IR official overprinted (of which six are known to exist) is currently valued at around £65,000 or about $100,000. A more common collectable stamp includes of course the Penny Black which although very old is still within the reach of the average collector. The Penny red and the two penny blue are also generally affordable depending on their condition. Collectables such as these can be picked up for tens or hundreds of pounds rather than the tens of thousands of pounds previously mentioned.

Where to purchase British stamps

There are many ways and places to find and purchase Great Britain stamps whether on premises or online. If you live in Britain you can still find specialty shops though some of the smaller shops are in decline due to heavy online competition. The philatelic traders Society which you can find online has a great alphabetical shop listing or you can check out your local phone book to search out a shop nearby. If you choose to buy your stamps online the options are extensive. UK philately or stamps delcampe are excellent places to start.

What’s my collection worth?

There are many ways to get a valuation for your Great Britain stamp collection. Local Stamp Collecting clubs and societies can be a great source of information or if you have a local specialty store whose opinion you trust this is also a good place to start. Some websites also offer valuation services though they may require you to be a member first.

Indeed whether you Collect British Stamps for fun or for profit there seems to be no end of options available to both beginner and expert stamp collectors.

Communications In Iceland $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Telecommunications in Iceland, Postage Stamps and Postal History of Iceland, .Is, Íslandspóstur, List of Fish on Stamps of Iceland, Farice-1, Telephone Numbers in Iceland, Reykjavik Internet Exchange. Excerpt: This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Iceland. Regular mail service in Iceland was first established by a charter of 13 May 1776, and on 1 January 1873, Iceland issued its first postage stamps. The design was the same as for the Danish numeral issue of the time (numeral of value surmounted by a crown all inside an oval), denominated with values ranging from 2 to 16 skilling, and inscribed ÍSLAND. All are scarce or rare, and used copies are especially hard to find. 20 aurar, 1882 (used at Vopnafjörður?)In 1876 the currency changed to eyrir (pl. aurar) and króna. This meant new stamps, which were issued beginning in August. The same basic design, with some changes of color and perforation, continued in use through 1901. In 1897 a shortage of 3-aurar stamps led to the overprinting of 5-aurur stamps with þrir or þrir / 3; these are rare, and unfortunately excellent counterfeits have been produced. 25 aurar “Í Gildi”, 1902In 1902 the numeral stamps were officially withdrawn and declared invalid for postage, since a new set depicting King Christian IX was to be issued. But then the Minister of Iceland changed his mind for reasons which are still unclear and had the numerals reissued, overprinted Í GILDI / ’02–’03 in red or black, the overprint indicating that they were still valid. While some of the overprints are common, costing the collector less than a US$ or euro, others are among the great rarities of Icelandic philately. There are also many inverts and typographical errors to be
