The Declaration of Independence ($275,000)
The Declaration of Independence stamp was printed in 1869, and it is also one of the first stamps in the United States to be printed in two colors: green and violet.
This stamp cost 24 cents during its circulation, and features a recreation of the famous John Trumbull painting.
The Declaration of Independence is a highly detailed stamp, and even in relatively poor condition it is worth a few hundred dollars.
The most valuable version of this stamp, an unused sample with an inverted center, has a much larger price tag.
