    US Stamps Mint #4806 Inverted Jenny -
    sheet of 6 stamps!
    You are buying one sealed, never-opened paper packet containing the USPS-issued sheet of six stamps.
    This is a story worth reading.
    Collectors continue to find upright varieties of Jenny
    May 23, 2020,
    More than six years after the Jenny Invert stamps were placed on sale, collectors continue to find the rare upright variety among new stamp orders received from the United States Postal Service.
    Over the past six months, three collectors have contacted
    Linn’s Stamp News
    to report new finds.
    The Jenny stamps (Scott 4806) were issued in panes of six on Sept. 22, 2013, as a tribute to America’s most famous stamp error. That 1918 24¢ Jenny Invert airmail stamp has its blue Jenny biplane accidentally printed upside down within the carmine rose frame (Scott C3a).
    The stamps from 2013 were at the center of a USPS promotional program that included just 100 specially printed panes intentionally showing the Jenny biplane in the center of each stamp flying right-side up. The regularly issued stamp portrays the plane upside down.
    All 2.2 million panes from the 2013 issue were sealed in a printed paper envelope within a cellophane wrapping, thwarting efforts to detect the rare upright variety seeded among the common standard issue.
    Collector demand for the limited upright variety pushed aftermarket values sky-high, with some public auctions seeing realizations of more than ,000.
    The 100 upright variety panes were packaged with a card printed with a phone number the finder could call to receive a certificate signed by the U.S. postmaster general, and to register the purchase and discovery. But because the registration is voluntary, it is presumed many of the found panes were never recorded.
    As a result, no one is sure how many have been found and how many remain undiscovered.
    The most recent report of an upright variety find came from collector John Palmer, who received his pane on April 8, which also happened to be his wedding anniversary.
    “When the panes of the Inverted Jenny were first issued I ordered a number of panes hoping for a right-side-up Jenny,” Palmer told
    Linn’s
    . “However, no success.”
    Undaunted, he ordered another three panes from USPS Stamp Fulfillment Services in April, and that order delivered one pane of the upright variety.
    When Palmer called the toll-free number, he was asked to mail in “a copy of the relevant information.” He did so and is now waiting for a reply.
    Reports to
    Linn’s
    of new finds came to a virtual halt in 2017 after the remaining panes at Stamp Fulfillment Services were distributed to post offices for sale. At the time,
    Linn’s
    had recorded 32 finds of the variety verified by the Postal Service.
    In November 2019, all panes were recalled from post offices so that they could be sold once again from Stamp Fulfillment Services.

    At a recent stamp show I sold sealed sheets and offered to
    buy an
    upright sheet for ,500.00 on the spot! My flyer:
    PURCHASE A SEALED  PACKAGE HERE!
    In 2013 the Post Office marked the 95th anniversary of the  “Inverted Jenny” by issuing souvenir sheets of 6 Inverted Jenny stamps.
    As a promotional scheme, the Postal Service
    intentionally created 100 panes of an upright variety of the stamp. Like the millions of normal stamps that show the plane flying upside down, these rare variety
    panes
    , which show the plane flying upright, are hidden within sealed blind packaging which, from the outside, cannot be distinguished from the regular issue.
    The variety panes were then mixed in with the 2,200,100 normal stamp sheets of 6
    stamps
    . Stamp customers who come upon the variety in their purchases have found they can make a substantial profit selling the pane at auction or to a stamp dealer or collector.
    The 100 upright variety panes were packaged with a card printed with a phone number the finder could call to receive a certificate signed by the U.S. postmaster general, and to register the purchase and discovery.
    Now you can purchase a sealed unopened
    souvenirsheet for only .
    If you are not of the lucky ones you have #12 in stamps and the other is donated to the Straight Stamp Society of Sequim.
    If you get a sheet showing the plane upright the current value is between ,000 and ,000 per sheet. It is unknown how many have been located and we do not know how many are left to open. It is believed most purchases were opened but this is your chance to get an unopened, sealed package!
