DESCRIPTION: 1918 Inverted Curtis Upside Down Jenny 24 cents stamp poster with inscription "Number 2 in a series of foremost collectibles".

1918 Curtis Jenny 24 cents stamp. The Inverted Jenny (also known as an Upside Down Jenny, Jenny Invert) is a 24 cent 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 is 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 philately. A single Inverted Jenny was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in November 2007 for $977,500. In December 2007 a mint never hinged example was sold for $825,000. A block of four Inverted Jennys was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in October 2005 for $2.7 million.
