The Mauritius Stamps

Mauritius is an island off the coast of Madagascar, and one of the first countries in the world to produce a postage stamp. The two stamps above, the Two Pence and One Penny, are valued at well over $1 million each. The value actually comes from their mistakes. Stamps usually say POST PAID, but these stamps read POST OFFICE.
