An interesting story regarding a 1856 rare one cent postage stamp that just sold at auction:

I have never seen a stamp like that before (either online or elsewhere) that I can recall. Always interesting to read of the history and previous owners of the item also.

Nice stamp and his story is great too ! I can see that the stamp was also apart of war reparations after the WWI :) Nice story !
