Hi jk, although the link below applies to the penny black the principle is the same.

Welcome to the world of Queen Victoria stamps of Great Britain!
The plate number is actually 9, not 6. Read the sideways plate number with the near side on top.
In the full pane of stamps (20 rows by 12 columns), each stamp position is identified by letter positions (see link provided by sheepshanks for layout).
The plate position is read starting from the lower left corner and then the lower right corner (the upper corners letters, when they exist, are the reverse of the lower corners). So you stamp would be plate position Q-F.

In a way we are all new, (I hope, anyway.) and we are all still learning. Feel free to ask about anything you cannot find an explanation for yourself.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
