Number of varieties. You can purchase any of the version in good condition for 20 cents used or mint. If it has a tear or missing a piece, it is not worth anything.

If it has a small number at the bottom of the stamp, it may have a bit more value.

And please note, the fact that it say 1900 on it has nothing to do with when the stamp was issued. It was released in 1990 to 1995 with a picture of a circus wagon as it looked in the 1900's.

Why are clown called clowns?

Well I think that being a clown means like being goofy, silly. So clowns are called clowns because they are silly.

Not really! Clowning is a very difficult art to perfect just being silly, anyone can do that.

'Clowning is the universally accepted name for it but to be really accurate the 'clown' is the white face character not used very much any more. He is the talented musician and feed. The 'clowns' are really the stooges and the 'Augustes' who are the fall-a-bout acrobats and the laughter makers. Modern clowns who dress too much and have too much (frightening?) make up are not the traditional fall-a-bouts such a Stan Laurel or Chaplin. Ragged costumes and nonsense props are all a part of good slapstick. They should not frighten children!
