Hi ALL
I am Chris from Lincolnshire now but still think of myself as a yorkshireman. My main hobby for 20 years has been playing warhammer 40k. I have recently retired from teaching and I have added to my hobbies stamp collecting. I have inherited my dads stamp albums and loose stamps with my own from when I was a kid. My main interest is in completing my dads 3 albums starting with his GB stamps. I will then move onto his commenwealth and finally probably hardest world stamps. I have just started purchasing from auctions and have done the first task of buying a penny black. Now I will be asking for help to identify which plate it is and generally the level of quality. I look forward to reading people's posts and generally learning loads and also asking for help very regularly at first.
Thanks for reading
Chris

Welcome to TSF chrisd and congratulations on the addition of a Penny Black to your collection :-)
As for the plating of your stamp, there is a great thread already started which should be enough for you to identify your own copy - Penny Black platesI suggest you give it a go and share your findings...
Have fun and happy collecting!
