The USPS Large Flat Rate box has a weight limit of 70lbs.
I posit that this limit cannot be reached.
The box is roughly 950 square centimeters, meaning that you'd need to fill that box with a perfectly shaped brick of a material that is denser than 33 grams per square centimeter.
Osmium, Iridium, and Platinum aren't more than ~22g/cm2.
