For more information on the most valuable stamps in the world
There are rare and valuable stamps in all postal systems of the world. Two of the best known Jenny these are backwards, which was a printing error and a Z-grill stamp cent of the U.S. postal system. Any person who is a serious stamp collector will tell you that there are five most valuable stamps in the world and all try to have them in their collections. However, they are very rare and therefore very expensive. These stamps are useful:
1. Three-Shilling Banco from Sweden, which is yellow, has been printed 1855. This stamp is valuable because the yellow was an error in the color of the stamp. The yellow paper that was used in the printing was supposed be for the 8-shilling stamp. The usual color for the 3-shilling stamp was green. A single copy of the stamp has never been found. It was in 1885, when a young Swedish boy was looking through the collection of stamps from his grandfather. No other copy of the stamp have surfaced and this rare stamp was sold in 1996 for the stunning price of 2.3 million dollars to an anonymous collector.
2. The two pence stamp of Mauritius has been published 1847. This was one of the first stamps issued by more than the British island colony. The reason why this stamp is so valuable is because There was an error made in the printing. A local watchmaker was awarded the contract to print two stamps – the stamp of two pence and one penny stamp. He made the mistake of printing the words post office "on the stamp instead of the term" post-paid. "More than 200 of these stamps were printed before the mistake was discovered. Despite the large number printed, there are only about 30 of these stamps that exist today and are estimated at a value of approximately $ 600,000 each.
3. the rarest stamps of the United States is the value of 1 cent Z Grill, also known Franklin Z-Grill. This stamp was printed in 1867 and give an image of Benjamin Franklin embossed on a Z-Grill, which is a pattern of tiny squares embossed into the stamp and visible at the rear. The stamp was printed in an effort to allow the ink to a stamp cancellation to infiltrate in the stamped paper. In this way, those who want to cheat the post office in reusing stamps would be unable to do so. However, the practice of using such a stamp was not very practical and they have been abandoned. One of these stamps sold at auction in 1988 to nearly one million dollars.
4. The first stamp issued in Hawaii was the Hawaiian Missionaries mark of 1851. The name comes from the fact that the missionaries in the islands used them to send mail back to the United States mainly used. They were printed in three denominations – 2, 5 and 13 cents. The rarity of these stamps is due to the fact that the pictures were very crudely drawn and they were printed on poor quality paper. The version 2 percent is worth $ 750,000 if it is used and about $ 200,000 if it is used.
5. British Guiana One Cent Black, who was printed on magenta, was first published in 1856. These stamps were issued as an emergency measure when there was a lack of stamps in the colony. They were rather crude and were printed in only two denominations – I-cent stamps costs newspapers and stamps of 4 cents for use on letters. They were printed on magenta paper and depicts a sailboat with the name "British Guiana" and the motto "we give and we seek in return, "printed in Latin. The stamp only survivor was sold in 1980 for $ 935,000.
