<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 2674973, member: 44615&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>I wanted to share this interesting item I picked up at a flea market many years ago.</p><p>When I first saw it I was intrigued by it because I didn&#039;t know why a US Cent would be embedded in a rectangular piece of lead. Also because 1971 is my birthyear.</p><p>The seller said that it was a cent that fell into some lead by accident, but I figured out later that it&#039;s actually a stamp. There is a name on the edge.</p><p>It reads <b>MARGARET CAREY</b>, in reverse of course.</p><p>And thinking about it I figured that it cannot be just 1 Cent embedded but 2 Cents because of the thickness of the lead.</p><p>This lead stamp weighs 32.1 grams.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]596443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596445[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
