This http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Banknote...p=true&rt=nc struck me as a rather clever way to present fancy cancels by superimposing mounted stamp over full image of the cancel. Probably a good teaching tool as well. Suspect this must be common but I've not seen it before....
You may have missed the notation to the right at the bottom of the image. If that is a grilled 24c, Scott 142, the price paid, even if the stamps are less than sound, isn't so outrageous after all.
A fake grill wouldn't be out of the question with this seller. Also, you can be sure there were plenty of shill bids, maybe even the winner was a shill. Avoid that seller!
