That's pretty cool find, Phil! $1000 in 1840 was alot of money.
Bad news on this one, I'm afraid. Refer to this link, which claims it's a 1960s-era replica:

Well, that sucks! Still cool, though!
Q/ Are Murkans supposed to know the names of each of these guys?
Ben's easy enough, but the rest could be a Viennese string quartet & a backup guy.

Its a replica, the ones i saw on the internet all have the same serial number inked in. Its pretty good how they make the paper look crinkly and aged ! There were some better U.S. first days in the lot.. Hawaii,Lincoln,Roosevelt etc: i am a bit reluctant to add first days to my U.S. cover collection.
