Rare Lincoln Stamp Fetches Big Bucks

A rare stamp with a likeness of Lincoln fetched $431,250 at an auction yesterday. The stamp, known as the Ice House Cover, was originally mailed from Boston to India in 1876. It was stolen from a collector's home in Indiana in 1967 and surfaced in Chicago in 2006. The highest bid came from a doctor named Arthur K.M. Woo. [Sun-Times]
