Sequence Of Numerals On Stamps

As far as I can tell, this hasn't been done before. Let's see if we can create a sequence of numerals from 1 upwards. The numeral should ideally be the principal feature of the design, or at least prominent. I'll start with an 1874 Postage Due from Sweden.

And...BOOM

The thread officially started.

Here's a #25 from Italy, 1865. Apologize for the stamp hiding a little the design.

The thread continues...

You should have had put a stamp with a 1/2 facial value first instead of starting with 1.

Here's a #LJ2, a rural postage due stamp, from 1862, Baden, Germany. (Apologize for the bad condition).

Let me guess. Number four is next?

4 1/2?

Yup, the next one will be a 5.2 cent

Wow, thread derailed in less than three hours. Someone must feel proud.



Why wait, the fractional cent US revenues or even the 1 1/4 cent postage could have derailed this much faster. Of course the OP asked for
and fractions or decimals are not considered a "numeral."

So in an effort to retrack this thread I can't choose which is more appropriate:



or needed--


Of course US 1438 or 1927 might also be fitting here, but I don't want to jump numerical order.

Don't worry, the thread didn't derailed. But thanks for putting it on the good way again.

Anyway, that arbitrary approach eliminates so many fun candidates. Maybe we need to start a non-whole number thread. Roman numerals would be cool but how many are there. So many possibilities.

If this has not already been done here before, SCF was the one exception among the stamp forums.

Pretty much all has been done before. If you use the search tool it returns many of these exact topics. Show us your multiples has been done ad nauseam. No harm in having fun but the search tool is badly overlooked. Every day there are questions asked that have been answered in amazing detail over the years but no one bothers to search.

I tried the search tool for counting. It did not return anything relevant.

The search tool is quite inadequate. You must know what exactly you are searching. Then, still, it returns 10 pages and most will show posts in -irrelevant threads by someone who has participated in a thread relating to the search. If John Doe posted in "Arabic numeral" and you search for "numeral," it happily returns page after page of post by John Doe that do not contain the word "numeral."

I agree with rogdcam. I can not find it now but I do remember my favorite one. It was a list of US stamps only to see how far we go with whole numbers in sequence before we ran into a number that does not occur on a stamp
