The Rare “Upright” Jenny Error Sheet
It’s not often a modern stamp error appears. And when it does, it creates a lot of excitement for us stamp collectors. Only 100 of us will be able to own the Upright Jenny Error Sheet. And at this writing, only around 40 collectors are known to be so lucky.
Fortunately, we’ve managed to locate one Upright Jenny Invert Error Sheet. And now I’m offering it to you. This treasure would be a brilliant centerpiece for your U.S. collection…
Only 100 Error Sheets of 6 Printed with Jenny Bi-Plane Upright
The sheet has quite a story. This modern rarity was created in secret by the USPS – which broke its own strict policy of not intentionally creating philatelic rarities. Only 100 sheets of six “uprights” were printed and 70 randomly distributed to post offices across the country. The rest were randomly placed in orders sent from the Philatelic Agency. Here’s what happened…
Printed using original 1918 dies that created the world-famous Jenny Invert
On September 22nd, 2013, a First Day of Issue ceremony was held at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington D.C. The occasion celebrated the opening of the William H. Gross Stamp Gallery with a reissue of the 1918 #C3a Jenny Invert stamp. The new format was a pane of six self-adhesive Inverted Jennies. The pane was printed using dies that produced the original Invert. The denomination was changed from 24¢ to $2 to easily differentiate the new stamps from the originals. Collectors admiring the sheet at the ceremony had no idea a secret version had also been printed, creating a modern and extremely rare Jenny Invert error.
Many collectors were confused at the cellophane packaging their invert sheet order arrived in. The reason behind the odd packaging was revealed shortly after the issue. A collector from Ontario, Canada made the astonishing discovery – an upright example of the sheet! The cellophane was used to prevent searching through the stock for the rare upright designs.
The secret was out about the “Upright Jennies”.
This may be your only chance to own the rare and historic error…
Eventually all unsold quantities of the $2.00 Inverted Jenny souvenir sheet were recalled and made available for online purchase through Stamp Fulfillment Services. Only 40 in the upright position have been voluntarily registered by postal customers. According to Linn’s Stamp News of December 28, 2022, three more have been discovered, but remain unregistered. The USPS says all Upright Jenny Error Sheets have been dispersed.
Who knows where the rest are? They may be locked up in permanent collections, some even lost or destroyed. Now’s your chance to own an inverted error only a few others can. And it may be your only one. The unique Upright Jenny story links us to the legendary Jenny Invert error of 1918. And to the history-making decision of the US Postal Service to intentionally create an error stamp.
It’s not likely we’ll hear such a story again. Be part of that story and help preserve this once-in-a-lifetime stamp issue for future generations of collectors. Call Mystic to discuss your options for interest-free time payments with a friendly Customer Service Representative.
