The 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta stamp sold for $9.5 million (Credit: Joseph Baum and William Dallas printers for local postmaster, E.T.E. Dalton /Wikimedia Commons/Public domain)

To amateurs, the 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta stamp that measures a mere 2.5 cm by 3.2 cm may appear to be like any other ancient postage stamp. However, for philatelists this octagonal scrap of paper that bears an illustration of a three-masted ship is a one-of-a-kind treasure, for which an avid collector recently paid $9.5 million. According to Sotheby's, the One-Cent Magenta is not just the world's most expensive stamp sold at an auction but also its most valuable object by weight and size!

      and to bkvamp who said that "not a fair trade for 1 cent stamp. 1,000, maybe but not 5 million!" well it isnt unless it is in high demand and in low quantity.
