(Sc. 4806d, $70,000). . A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS DESIRABLE MODERN RARITY, COMMEMORATING ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC STAMPS IN WORLD PHILATELY.. . In 2013, the United States Post Office announced that, in celebration of National Stamp Collecting Month, a special intaglio-printed souvenir sheet would be issued to commemorate the famous Inverted Jenny error of 1918. Printed in a denomination of $2.00 to prevent any confusion with the original 24c stamp, this announcement specified a print quantity of 13,200,600 stamps, equating to 2,200,100 souvenir sheets of six. The mystery surrounding this unusual number was enhanced by the fact that the souvenir sheets were issued in cellophane wrapper with a cardboard insert, preventing the stamps from being seen until opened. The reason for this became clear shortly thereafter, when a souvenir sheet showing a non-inverted Jenny was discovered. The Post Office then announced that 100 souvenir sheets had been printed with the Jenny flying right-side up, and distributed to Post Offices in key markets and Stamp Fulfilment Centers. To this date, many remain unreported.. Mint NH (Image1)
