This video comprises of 17 most famous and sought-after stamps in the world of philately. I have briefly discussed the history and characteristics of these most valuable postage stamps. Most of these stamps were issued by USA, Britain, Germany, China, Mauritius, or Italy.
One of these which is the most rarest and valuable is 'British Guiana' Stamp. This stamp was printed in 1856 after the postmaster general of British Guiana ordered a set of three types of stamps to be made after a shipment from London was delayed. This is the only stamp known to exist. Other stamps which are discussed include Penny Black, Inverted Jenny, 30c Shield, Eagle, and Flags Stamp, 1904 Edward VII 6d Pale Dull Purple I.R. Official, Plate 77 Penny Red, Benjamin Franklin Z Grill Stamp, Alexandria Blue Boy Stamp, 1868 George Washington B-Gril Stamp, Inverted 1869 Declaration Of Independence stamp, Baden 9 Kreuzer Error Stamp, The Whole Country Is Red Stamp, Mauritius Post Office stamps, 1859 Sicilian Error of Color Stamp, and Mauritius Two Penny Blue Stamp.
