- The Inverted Jenny (also known as an Upside Down Jenny or Jenny Invert) is a United States postage stamp first issued on May 10 1918 in which the image of the Curtiss JN-4 airplane in the center of the design was accidentally printed upside-down; it is probably the most famous error in American philately. Only one pane of 100 of the invert stamps was ever found, making this error one of the most prized in all philately; an inverted Jenny was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in November 2007 for US $977,500.
nice video for stamp collector
Great story ! I just picked up the new commemorative Jenny stamp today :)
100 sets of these commemorative stamp sets were purposely printed right-side-up as a kind of nod to the original printing error, and making these a valuable subset of the Inverted Jenny commemorative stamp set. As of this time, only a small number of the right-side-up stamp sets have been noted publicly.
1 block of 4 Jenny Stamps sold for 2.7 Million US Dollars out of 100 pcs of jenny stamps upside down..
Nice video, but classic bit of American exceptionalism there at the start with the remark about how “the inverted Jenny is the world’s most famous stamp..”
I think you’ll find that distinction belongs to the Penny Black, by quite a considerable margin too.
Meh... fine... it's the world's most INFAMOUS stamp.
