THE UNIQUE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE OF THE 1923 1¢ FRANKLIN PERF 10 ROTARY PRESS PRINTING CANCELLED BY THE PHILATELIC AGENCY IN WASHINGTON D.C.
Once the precanceled form of this issue became known to the collecting public, a drive was mounted, led by Philip Ward, to have the Philatelic Agency release the stamps unprecanceled. The agency complied and on October 17th 1923 they issued the unprecanceled version of the stamp. Despite collector interest, this is the only Agency First Day that has been found and surprisingly it is completely non-philatelic. US$0 (Image)
