America’s Most Famous Postage Stamp

The Inverted Jenny is an icon in the world of collecting, on par with Action Comics #1 and the Honus Wagner T206 baseball card. It has appeared everywhere from the front page of the New York Times to an episode of the Simpsons. But while most know that the “upside down airplane” was the United States Postal Service’s greatest faux pas, few know the true story behind this remarkable stamp. Scott Trepel of Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries is one of the world’s leading experts on the Inverted Jenny, having personally sold over two-thirds of the 100 stamps printed in 1918. Join him as he takes you on the journey of the production, discovery, and sale of America’s most famous postage stamp.
