The Postal Service has printed 100 additional sheets of stamps of the recently
issued $2
Inverted Jenny stamp but with the plane flying right-side up. These
very limited edition stamps were circulated with the recent issue of stamps
mimicking the most famous stamp error in U.S. history. Customers who purchased
the new Inverted Jenny stamp could have a very limited edition of the famous
stamp.
Unique to this stamp issuance, all sheets were individually wrapped in a
sealed envelope to recreate the excitement of finding an Inverted Jenny when
opening the envelope and to avoid the possibility of discovering a corrected
Jenny prior to purchase.
“We are leveraging the incredible story behind the rare collectible as a
creative way to generate interest in stamp collecting while highlighting the
role the Post Office Department had in developing the commercial aviation
industry,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.
Individuals purchasing ‘corrected Jenny sheets’ will find a congratulatory
note inside the wrapping asking them to call a phone number to
receive a certificate of acknowledgement signed by the Postmaster General.
The 100 sheets were distributed randomly among the nation’s Post Offices and
at the Postal Service’s Stamp Fulfillment Center which accepts stamp orders
online at usps.com/stamps, and by
calling 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724). Additionally, some of the 100 also were
randomly distributed at ebay.com/stamps.
