A guide to British Machin definitives by Andrew Hill

I have allocated a unique number to each item. This  was much more difficult to figure out than it looks! I have got really fed up having to renumber my collection every year when Stanley Gibbons produce a new  catalogue and was determined to find a system that might stand the test of time for you. I hope it works. It is simply the face value, expressed as a decimal and then the second and third decimal places indicate the variety. So 1.017 is the 17th variety of a 1p stamp. 10.501 is the first variety of a 10½pstamp.
