Note: This is NOT a USPOD plate and has nothing to do with the printing of actual US postage stamps. It is a printing plate used to print a book or magazine article. This is obvious when you consider that the 'stamps' on the copper plate show the perforations. I assume this is may be why 1898 titled the thread as 'Junk'.

Actual USPOD steel plates are worth big money and rarely show up in the marketplace. Many of the Bank Note Company plates and transfer rollers are owned by a single person and are sitting in a warehouse in the Northeast US. I doubt any would be sold for less that 5 figures and many would be more than that.
