Oldest Stamp



What did you find interesting in this article?
I found all article's questions and the answers were interesting. It spoke about the stamps history. I know now that first stamp in the world was UK stamp, it was called Penny Black .The Penny Black was first sold in 1840 and it was very popular. It had a large picture of Queen Victoria on it. In 1885 a 14 year-old Swedish boy found a yellow Try Skilling Banco stamp. He knew it was unusual and he sold it. In 1996 this stamp was sold for an incredible 1,400,000 euro .That stamp is classified as the most expensive stamp in the world.

Do you like collecting things?
