Large 1st class stamps are around 90p. i usually put large stamps on all of mine just to make sure there paid for.

hope this helped.
Thanks! So, if I put a 2nd Large stamp plus 4 .02 stamps, then I'll have 77p. Is this fine if I want to do surface mail from UK to US?
no you will need at least 4 second class or 2 large letters and 1 second class

international UK to US is £1.90 for under 30 grams
If my letter is under 20g, then surface mail is 77p. Since, second large = 69p, then if I added 8p more, then I would be at 77p.

question about UK stamps

How much is one 1st stamp worth? And, what's the difference between 1st Large, 1st, 2nd Large and 2nd?

Thanks!
