I have not been collecting long, and recently purchased an album with two penny blacks in, which I have been trying to plate using the Cripps Nissen reconstructions at the Spinks site. I think that the two penny blacks attached are plates 1a and 1b respectively, but would greatly appreciate confirmation from anyone with more experience at plating.

Many thanks for any help, Colin

Great quality pair of Penny Blacks... but you need to look after the GI one as the top left corner is a tiny bit dog-eared.
The GI is from plate 1b

Your QL Penny Black is an absolute delight. It comes from plate 1a
