More seriously, if one moves away from engraved stamps, which have an almost unfair advantage, I am partial to this 1972 butterfly set from Oman with its silver background that really lets the wing colors shine through:  |

I tried and failed miserably in finding out what notes are on that stamp. However,the stage-coach motive is from a section of the upper part of Moritz v.Schwind´s
painting "Eine Symphonie".It is claimed,that this mural-like oil-painting was inspired by Beethoven´s "Chorfantasie" op.80,so the notes are probably from there.
But back to the most beautiful stamp: I wouldn´t know my world-wide favourite,but for Austria it is:
From the 1964 UPU-Congress set.
My favourite set would be from 1923,showing motives from the capitals of the Austrian "Länder".
Or perhaps this is the nicest ?
10 Kronen of the jubilee-set for Franz-Joseph´s 60th anniversary from 1908 ?

I tried and failed miserably in finding out what notes are on that stamp. According to Musical Notations on Stamps part 3, the music is from a post horn call. See this link (it's a 16 page pdf) and see under Mongolia who issued a stamp on stamp version. Daniel |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50
