Postage Stamp Values - Rare Postage Stamps - Philately - Old Postage Stamps
The Penny Black was the world's first adhesive postage stamp used in a public postal system. It was issued by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 May, 1840, for use from 6 May of that year. All London post offices received official issues of the new stamps but other offices throughout the United Kingdom did not, continuing to accept postage payments in cash only for a period. Post offices such as those in Bath, began offering the stamp unofficially after 2 May.
This is a list of postage stamps that are especially notable in some way.
The best-known stamps:
Treskilling Yellow (Sweden)
Penny Black (Britain)
Mauritius "Post Office"
Inverted Jenny (United States)
Basel Dove (Switzerland)
British Guiana 1c magenta
Benjamin Franklin Z Grill (United States)
