Welcome to Tnet

You're doing fine, but you'll generally get more people seeing your finds if you post them in the "What is it?" section. There's also a "Stamp Collecting" section but it doesn;t get as much traffic.

Take another look at the bottom center of the stamp and you'll see the word 'IRAN' in oddly stylised capital letters which aren't easy to read. So there's your answer. They're Iranian 5 dinar stamps. Neat to have a block of them. First Issued under Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlav in 1966:


Your picture seems to have an overall green caste to it. That's something you often get if you take pictures in a room with a fluorescent tube for lighting, although there could be other reasons. The true colour for the stamp is a dull green/grey.

EDIT: sorry, I just realised you asked for a little more than year and country. What more do you need?

Welcome to the site:hello:
 

It looks like Liberace on an Iranian stamp. LOL.
 

Welcome. Don't quit your day job. I can't imagine a lot of worth in old Shah of Iran stamps. He doesn't conjure up warm and fuzzy feelings. In or outside of Iran.

Welcome Aboard Frogsticker73! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country)...

You might consider posting your stamps on STAMP COLLECTING for more exposure...

Welcome from NC.
 

It's from this series:
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX1]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX2]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX3]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX4]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX5]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX6]
[Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, type BJX7]

Sometimes described as blackish blue; worth about 25 cents as one. With almost a full sheet (as yours is) slightly more IMO.
