What country/entity is this stamp from? And from which year?

Maximum three guesses per person. Quiz finishes in around 24 hours.

Good luck!

No more guesses?

Quiz is over. aolsson got 1 point, because he didn't guess it right, but the year was very very close.

This stamp is from Chile, from the 1901-1902 serie. Because I am not able to know if it's from 1901 or 1902, I put the first year, 1901. Here's the picture:





See you for another quiz next week!

What kind of contest awards points for the wrong answer?

The member who is closer to the right answer, if nobody got it right gets 1 point. If someone get it right, 2 points.

It would be too hard to have a point if nobody gets any unless he has the exact answer.

How do you get "closer" to the wrong Country. That is ridiculous.

No, I mean closer to the right country. Like Argentina if it's Chile or 1902 if it's 1901.

You may want to simplify the rules. Something like one point for the country and an additional point for the year issued, as long as it is in one post. Or just country. That worked well for our last quiz master

It's your contest, but I liked the old way of playing with just guessing the country and no year involved.

Partime, I agree, will think about that.

Carl20, I didn't want to make a quiz too similar to EdziuMM's one. Wanted to make something slightly different.

I think OP means

- No one guesses a stamp from Israel, the winner is who guessed the Palestine State; Jordan, however, loses.
- No one guesses a stamp from the Ukraïne, the winner is who guessed Russia (as clearly it is a Russian ship on the stamp); Poland, however, loses.
- No one guesses a stamp from India, the winner is who guessed Pakistan; Bhutan, however, loses.

Yup.

Captain Stamp is to be commended on his quiz. I am certain he created it purely for entertainment, not to be critiqued. If others wish to create a different quiz, I say go for it.
Thank you, Captain Stamp! I look forward to the next!
