I was shocked when I saw someone had spent this. http://i.imgur.com/NjBrX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bF960.jpg I guess I should also note that I switched a 100 that I had for it, and am going to take it to a collectors shop this week. Any guess on value?
I've found counterfeit pens (or at least the one at my work) fade within 48-72 hours (sometimes a while longer when kept in a case). There was another mark on it today that had faded quite a bit that I can no longer see. I'll post another pic in a few days and we'll see if it's gone away.
That's quite a rare find! Tell us, where exactly did you come across it? Unfortunately it's not worth all that much over face value - despite having just 480,000 printed. Based on past auctions, it can fetch between $130 and $160 in this condition.
