imeagle Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 While working the other day I picked up a scrap of garbage to throw away and discovered it was a Postage stamp celebrating the 150th birtday of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. It only has the corner of the envelope with no postmark date so not sure when it was released. The strange thing it was laying about 15 feet from a benchmark.

+Kewaneh & Shark Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I'll have to go through my collection to see if I have that one. Keep on Caching! - Kewaneh Quote Link to comment
+Zhanna Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 My mom mentioned that stamp to me when I first started telling her about benchmarks. One day we searched through her collection and located it, and I scanned it and put it on my site, just as a "curiosity." Zhanna's benchmark list The stamp was issued on February 11, 1957. Check out Surveyors in Postage for more! I think it's pretty neat that you found the stamp so close to a benchmark. Zhanna Quote Link to comment
