Excellent video and explanation of these stamps! The earlier stamps without the letters in the upper corners are usually referred to as "Penny Red Stars" because the pattern in the upper corners has a small star within the 'X' shape you described. The plating of these earlier issues is a whole specialized area of stamp collecting in itself, requiring patience and access to a lot of books!

[@mallardstamps]

Thanks for the info!

[@stevenkressel7761]

I recently discovered a mint penny red imperf on blue paper in an antique desk I had bought. I was hoping to get info on how to identify it's plate number here. No such luck. The plate numbers on the later issue perfs I find to be pretty straightforward and have found many videos showing where to look for these.

[@tylerhunt2170]

Yes no such luck for imperin penny red here

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

Perfect, also thanks for linking my video :-)

[@mallardstamps]

Of course! Your video is great!

[@57Freckles]

This was so interesting thank you very much. How I came across it, and then watching, is because I am doing so research on a couple of letters I have, 1847 and 1850, one in envelope one folded paper style both with some of their seal still on them. They both have imperforated penny reds on them, both with the 2 x's at the top and at the bottom OI and TJ. As per your reply to someone else, would I need to get these looked at by an expert to find out their plate number? Many thanks.

[@mallardstamps]

Yes!

[@louisharding9018]

Can I get the link to the cancelation marks to look for

[@nicsoileau8598]

I have a pair of penny reds with stars. Perforated. Both have number 76 printed on them. Anything I need to know about them

[@christophervcataulin2627]

Thank for the info sir I See the plate number 86..

[@philippehuck6366]

I have a red penny stamp imperforated with 2X at the top and 2 A at the bottom. How can I know he plate number?

[@mallardstamps]

Those penny reds need to be taken to a stamp expert!

[@officialystamped977]

The two top right boxes in the ferst two examples are stars not X's. In these two you can find them saying 'Q,V' that means Queen Victoria herself would of uesd it for mail

[@frankblades764]

Not sure this is true. Anything referring to Queen Victoria would normally be 'VR' - Victoria Regina (Regina is Queen in Latin). So, I suspect they are just stars.
