A spectacular example of 50 copies of R154 on document from the first day of use just sold on Ebay. Listed by the seller without even a note that the document was cancelled on the first day, and indeed it appears as if each stamp has a July 1 handstamp cancel in blue, the item was clearly stalked by collectors that appreciated the fact.
The bid remained in the double digits for days; in the waning moments snipers came in to raise the final price to $787. Obviously I watched this one, and figured it might go for a high price but this exceeded my estimate by about $200.
This document would be a perfect addition to Len McMaster's one cent Franklin exhibit.
