  • Rarest Stamp Error in U.S. History, Inverted Jenny, Flies Again
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mark Saunders Sept. 22, 2013 202-268-6524 [email protected] Release No. 013-074 usps.com/news Rarest Stamp Error in U.S. History, Inverted Jenny, Flies Again $2 Upside-Down Jenny Reprint Celebrates Opening of World’s Largest Stamp Gallery, National Stamp Collecting Month A high-resolution image of the stamp is available for media use only by emailing [email protected]. WASHINGTON — In a move to celebrate the grand opening of the William H. Gross Gallery at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum and promote October as National Stamp Collecting Month, the Postal Service dedicated a new $2 version of the most publicized stamp error in U.S. history today — the 24-cent 1918 Curtiss Jenny Inverted airmail stamp. The $12 Stamp Collecting: Inverted Jenny souvenir sheet is available nationwide today by visiting usps.com/stamps, calling 800-STAMP-24 (800-782-6724) or by visiting Post Offices. Two eerie occurrences took place surrounding the nation’s first airmail flight. The pilot got lost, 2 flew in the wrong direction and crashed. And due to a printing error of the stamp created to commemorate this historic event, the biplane depicted on the 24-cent Curtiss Jenny airmail stamp was upside down. A sheet of 100 stamps bearing this error was sold to the public. One stamp sold at auction in 2007 for $977,500. “The stamp is much more than a misprint,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe in dedicating the stamp. “It also symbolizes the Postal Service’s pioneering role in American history.
