Description: The "inverted Jenny" - a 24-cent airmail stamp, issued by the Post Office in May of 1918, with its biplane design somehow printed upside down - is the hobby's Holy Grail. Only one sheet of 100 error stamps has ever been known to exist, and those stamps - some individual, some in blocks - that enter the market fetch incredible prices. On November 15, 2018, one of the 100 stamps from that sheet was sold at auction for over $1.6 million! This cover, created with care and attention to detail by the Postal Commemorative Society, celebrates the most famous and coveted error stamp in the hobby. This cover shows an enlarged reproduction of the 24-cent airmail stamp (Scott number C3) with the inverted biplane in the middle of it; it also includes a bright, shiny gold-coated metallic replica of the "inverted Jenny" on a blue background. The metal stamp replica is coated with a very thin veneer of 22K gold, and makes for an incredibly attractive cover. The cover is fresh, clean, and unaddressed, with its first day of issue date where the address would normally be. Also included are two insert cards that tell the story of the famous postal error. If you're not a multimillionaire and are not in line to buy one of the few known copies of the "inverted Jenny," this is a great way to own a piece of history! Check the scan for details.
