Hello again and hope you guys don't mind but have 4 more penny blacks I have done my best to plate and wonder what you think:

CC = PLATE 8
DI = PLATE 1B

Thanks for the help! Hope to be improving at this!

Hello ! You have a lot of Penny Blacks ! Where did you take all of them ? I'm still learning how to plate Penny Blacks too, but I seriously think that you're right about all of them. The CC is really hard to identify, they almost all look like the same ! I thought that that was a 1a but I am probably not right. Do you use the plating project to identify them ? Me, yes. By the way, your Penny Blacks have some pretty good margins ! Hope that still helps even if i'm not an expert.

Been collecting Penny Blacks for the last little while and trying to get better at plating them. Yes I use the plating project and have read some Fischer-brown material but still struggling. Most times I am never completely sure which is why I always hope for rogdcam and Bobby de la rue to take a look. They seem really good at it!
