Inside are 20,000 stamps, including examples from every single country that has ever had them, including some like Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) which no longer exist. There is also the only letter ever postmarked from the moon and one sent to John Hancock on July 4, 1776.
Also, there is a letter recovered by settlers after Indians captured the Pony Express rider carrying it.
Of course, there is a block of "inverted Jenny" stamps, like a set that sold for nearly $3 million, which feature an upside down airplane. It became one of the most famous ever U.S. stamps after a 1918 misprint and quick recall.
