The real thing was clear mica over the stamp. I have seen pieces with a replacement window made of plastic. Also check to see if the case has been messed with. This is a big concern if a high value stamp (more than 10 cents) in inside. Most of these pieces had 1, 3 and 10 cent stamps in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
