Here is a home made First Day of Issue Cover postmarked July 2, 1979 in South Hamilton, MA.



And for fun an authentic Susan B. Anthony signature.

I can say positively that even tho today is her 195th, she's never looked a day over 194.

Oh, the "wide rim" variety. WOOT!

Susie is older than she looks.

In another existence she was Queen of Egypt:



Susan B. Anthony, Cleopatra

What is the signifiance of placing pebbles on top of a head stone?

GrandAm:

Leaving stones on a grave marker is a Jewish tradition. It's not traditional for Jews visiting a gravesite to leave flowers.

"What is the signifiance of placing pebbles on top of a head stone?"

While many feel that this is an ancient pagan custom, it is apparently a Jewish custom symbolizing the permanence of the memory of the deceased. It is still practiced today, as I have seen many small stones on gravestones as I have conducted genealogical research.

Why do we call her "Susan B. Anthony?" Why not just "Susan Anthony?" Were middle names more important in the 19th century, perhaps?

Probably the least expensive, finest-known, business-strike coin from any 20th Century US series:

Not just a Jewish custom, though it's certainly most prevalent in Jewish graveyards. My family (Episcopalian and Catholic) does it to count visits and we clear the stones off every newyears to start afresh.

The stickers on her stone, though, make me a bit upset -- although the sentiment is nice.
