Great Britain Stamp Scott #1, Penny Black, the first adhesive stamp with image of Queen of Victoria issued in 1840. Great margins for this historic stamp which was printed in sheets with very narrow margins between the rows of stamps so few Penny Blacks survive with three to four margins intact. Please see APEX Certification for authenticity and high resolution scans for stamp image.

Our statement regarding shipping and handling:

We combine shipping. Shipping and handling for orders up to $20.00 costs $1.25 and ship with tracking and insurance. Orders over $20.00 ship USPS first class mail with tracking (tracking per eBay policy). We add eBay ShipCoverage (insurance) which starts at $1.70 per $100 of coverage for domestic shipping. Based on experience, this is in the best interest of both parties. As such, shipping and handling for orders over $20.00 costs $5.00. Orders placed after 2pm Pacific time may be delivered to USPS the following business day.

 

We ship to Canada and the UK via the eBay International Shipping program. eBay international standard delivery is a Delivered Duties Unpaid (DDU) shipping service. This means buyers won’t pay duties and tax at checkout on eBay but may have to pay the carrier for duties and tax on delivery. By using this program, eBay manages international shipping and customs, and adds tracking information so you know when the item will be delivered. Costs are automatically calculated based on the buyer's ZIP code and the dimensions and weight of the package. eBay international standard delivery includes a $100 shipping protection plan to help in case of lost or damaged items. The cost for the service starts at around $12.00 and can take up to a month for delivery.
