But a few of the stamps have emerged over the last 168 years. On Saturday, one of them will be auctioned by Vancouver's All Nations Stamp and Coin.
"It's a very rare stamp, the likes of which most people never get a chance to put in their collection," said Brian Grant Duff of All Nations.
"They have sold for as much as $50,000. But it's not a perfect example, so it's going to bring between $5,000 and $10,000."
It's a cool stamp, filled with all kinds of historical quirks. It was a two pence, half penny stamp, because the colonies were still using British currency.
What's really cool is that the top of the stamp reads "British Columbia and the bottom reads "Vancouvers Island." That's right, Vancouvers Island, without an apostrophe.

There is also a rare Canadian stamp from 1851 that's known as the "12 Penny Black." The estimate is $5,000.
"It's not the prettiest example in the world, but there's only about 100 that have survived in any condition," said Grant Duff. "It's one of the world's rarest stamps, and it's certainly a Canadian stamp that is a big hole in most people's collection. So this is an affordable opportunity for someone to fill that hole."
