Technically you could still use a penny black, but I wouldn't recommended it. No. The rule about use forever applies only to decimally-denominated or generic stamps, not £sd ones! Makes you think, though. In £sd days, the 'high value' stamps were denominated in the equivalent of 12.5p, 25p, 50p, and £1. All but the last are so low-value now that they wouldn't even cover 2nd class postage. Inflation, eh? Edited May 5, 2020 by Jeffrey Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 A friend who worked in the sorting office says that the laser scanners can't (or don't) read the pre-decimal stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
