Tiflis stamp ($500,000)
This stamp is known as a Tiflis stamp, and it is known as the rarest postage stamp to come from Russia.
The stamp gets it name from Tiflis, the Russian city where these stamps were first created way back in 1857.
Today, Tiflis is known as Tbilisi, and it’s actually the capital of Georgia.
There are only five known Tiflis stamps to actually exist today.
Each of these stamps are worth $500,000, regardless of quality.
These stamps have a real story behind them, and the fact that they’re so hard to find certainly contribute to their value.
