In fact, this is a little disfigured piece of paper. Its pattern, a sailboat, was taken from a local maritime news newspaper in Guyana. The stamp also bears a newspaper motto: "We give and seek in return." Before the birth of this stamp, British Guiana had been relying on London to supply stamps. Later, the shipping schedule was delayed and the stamps were out of stock. The local post office printed stamps by itself, which may be the original intention of adopting the sailing pattern. This stamp is postmarked "April 4th, De Manlalle" and signed by the postal staff. 1 stamps are mainly used to post shipping news, so few people keep them. Until 1873, a Guyanese student found it in the old mail pile and sold it to a postman for 6 shillings. At 1980, the world's first rare postal product changed hands several times and was put on the auction market in new york.
Worth $850,000.
In fact, there are more expensive stamps than Guyana 1, that is, the American "blue boy" stamp of 1846. It is a temporary stamp issued by Brian, the postmaster general of Alexandria, USA, for local use. The face value is 5 cents, and the pattern is a circle of roses with the words "Alexandra Post Office" and "5 cents paid" in the middle. Because it was printed in black ink on blue paper, only one real envelope has been found so far, so stamp collectors like to call it "Blue Boy". 198 1 year, its realized price in Geneva auction is 1 ten thousand dollars, which exceeds Guyana's 1 minute.

In the final analysis, Jane Post has no "elegance" at all, and most of them are shoddy, far less beautiful than the originator of stamps, "Black Penny". Priceless is largely praised and created by thousands of super-rich people who are eager for it. Apart from some value in postal history, these rare stamps have no aesthetic value. For a long time, international stamp collecting was once a game for dignitaries, known as "imperial entertainment", and only those who spent a lot of money could get involved.
