Valuable american stamp was sold on Ebay for US $3,201.00. Its a United States 1c Pan American Invert #294a (Scott).

An invert error occurs when part of a postage stamp is printed upside-down. Inverts are perhaps the most spectacular of a postage stamp errors, not only because of the striking visual appearance, but because they are almost always quite rare, and highly valued by stamp collectors.
Invert errors, or “inverts” for short, most commonly arise when producing multi-colored stamps via multiple passes through the printing press. It is all too easy for a printing plant worker to insert a half-finished sheet the wrong way around, resulting in the inverts. Such an error being so obvious, nearly all misprinted sheets are caught and destroyed before they leave the plant, and still more are caught during distribution or at the post office before being sold.

The British South Africa Company (look at the top of the stamps) was established by Cecil Rhodes, receiving a royal charter in 1889. Modelling the British South Africa Company on the British East India Company, Rhodes hoped it would enable colonisation and economic exploitation across much of south-central Africa, as part of the “Scramble for Africa”.

The company was empowered to trade with African rulers such as King Lobengula; to form banks; to own, manage and grant or distribute land, and to raise a police force. In return, the company agreed to develop the territory it controlled; to respect existing African laws; to allow free trade within its territory and to respect all religions. However, Rhodes and the white settlers attracted to the company’s territory set their sights for ever more mineral rights and more territorial concessions from the African peoples, establishing their own governments, and introducing laws with little concern or respect for African law.

In 1914, the royal charter was renewed, on condition that settlers in Rhodesia were given increased political rights. In 1922, the company entered negotiations with the government of the Union of South Africa, which was keen to incorporate Southern Rhodesia – a plan foiled by the colony’s settlers, who voted in favour of self-government.

In 1923, the British government chose not to renew the Company’s charter, and instead accorded ’self-governing’ colony status to Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and protectorate status to Northern Rhodesia (Zambia).
