	Penny Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Penny Black was the world's first official adhesive postage stamp, issued in the city of Bath by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on May 1, 1840, for use from May 6.
		When the printings in red were made the existing plates used for some of the fl stamps were used as well as new plates purely for the red printings.
		The Penny Black is readily available, but because of its significance is in great demand by collectors and therefore not cheap; in 2000 a used copy cost about US$200 (around £110), and an unused copy about US$3,000 (around £1,600).

		Onto this plate a series of guide dots were marked, some of which were joined with guide lines to allow the correct registration of the impressions.
