Very fun and clever quiz. Don't have enough posts yet to qualify for the prize, but tried to send an email with my solution anyway just to see if it was correct. Email was blocked by the system; I guess since I don't have enough posts yet . . .
As a old collector who recently become active again and as a new member of the forum, really appreciate these puzzles and the giveaways/questions posted by other members to stimulate my renewed interest. |

I've scratched my head so much I have little hair left! This is a tough one. We'll probably all say 'Oh, of course  ' when we are enlightened. |

Oooh, ooh, too late to send in my email??
Just kidding, as the puzzle is now blown. However, I still don't see the Gold in the third stamp, top row. Can someone explain please? Thanks. |

Actually, what I mean is that if the answer is "All of the stamps have Gold in them" then I am still having problems with the third stamp. I see the goldfish, Golda Meier, etc., but all I can see on the third one is a leaf that may be golden? Not sure. Can someone explain? Thanks in advance. |

No offense intended. It was a hint, but probably not a good one.
The leaf is an example illustrating the point of the stamp, but the leaf is not the focus of the stamp. The point of the stamp is the number on the stamp. And that number is why it is in the quiz. |
