will not be in the top 5 but I remember reading that such is the thinness of Easter eggs these days, the chocolate works out more expensive than fillet steak on a lb for lb basis

i'll give you saffron (because it is right)
californium + other rare metals, yes
not stamps. we are talking intrinsic value rather than manufactured value
