The British Guiana 1c magenta is regarded by many philatelists as the world's most famous rare stamp. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It was issued in limited numbers in British Guiana (now Guyana ) in 1856, and only one specimen is now known to exist.
These include the unique British Guiana 1c magenta from 1856, which sold in 1980 for close to $1 million. In June 2014 the 1856 British Guiana one-cent magenta stamp was sold at auction in New York, to an anonymous bidder, for $9.5m (£5.6m) at auction in New York, a world record.
