To date no one has been stupid enough to risk using one in the mail. With an estimated value of $300,000, (one sold for over $500,000) why would any one use it and risk damage, loss and reduction in value? Well, one person did mail a copy. Mr. Green, the dealer that originally broke the sheet up and sold it, supposedly went out of town and his wife used one to mail him a letter. He kept it in his pocket watch. No value is listed. Out of the 100 stamps, the location of only two of them are unknown, both were stolen.
