GENEVA — One of the world’s rarest stamps is going up for auction today and could fetch a record- breaking price, the head of a Geneva auction house said.
The Swedish “Treskilling Yellow” is thought to be the only surviving misprint of an 1855, three-shilling stamp that was supposed to be green. It has fabled status among collectors and is considered one of the world’s most valuable objects, pound for pound.
The stamp sold in 1996 for 2.875 million Swiss francs, then about $2.3 million.
