The Three-Skilling Yellow is an error of Sweden's very first stamp issue from 1855. The normal stamp, which in itself is rather scarce, has a blue-green color. It is a one-of -a- kind rarity, as no other copies have been discovered to date.In 1984 the stamp made headlines when it was sold by David Feldman for 977,500 Swiss francs. A 1990 sale realized over one million US dollars, then In 1996 the stamp was sold to an anonymous collector for $2.3 million at auction. Each time it has been sold it has set world records.
