Island


Like many countries, I can't figure out why we spell Iceland when the country spells it Island on their postage.
Iceland seems to be one of the popular countries to collect. Probably why they demand a higher price from dealers. Economics101. This is catalogued rather cheaply at $0.45
Stretching out another night on this without disconnection till next week.

It's Island, not iseland!

And I think it's popular for two reasons:

1. not too many stamps (saves on price)

2. Really beautiful stamps. Along with Finland and Sweden, Icelandic stamps have always been beautifully designed.

I noticed the misspelling immediatly and thought I had fixed it. Guess I'll try again.
