An Inverted Jenny Stamp Surfaces

This rare stamp has been kept in safe deposit boxes for decades. It’s so valuable that the owner made the head of the Philatelic Foundation travel from New York to Chicago to take it out of its protective packaging.

An Inverted Jenny Surfaces. The Flawed Stamp Had Not Been Seen Since 1918.

No. 49 of 100 Jennies famously misprinted with an upside-down biplane was locked away in vaults for generations. The whereabouts of No. 66 remains unknown.
