1918 24c Carmine Rose and Blue “Inverted Jenny” Scott C3a

THE FINEST NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE

Few stamps hold the widespread fascination of the "Inverted Jenny" and the importance of its undisputed popularity combined with the unimprovable virgin condition cannot be overstated.

The Finer of the two graded Never Hinged example known. The ultimate "virgin" inverted Jenny.

The 1918 Twenty Four Cent Inverted Jenny is one of the most recognized rarities in all of philately. Its legendary status began the moment the stamp was issued in May 1918, when William T. Robey purchased an entire error sheet of 100 at the New York Avenue Post Office window in Washington D.C.

Within a week, Robey sold the sheet for $15,000 to the well-known Philadelphia stamp dealer Eugene Klein. All but six examples of this stamp from the original sheet survive. The whereabouts of those six are unknown and presumably lost forever.

In our opinion, this is the most valuable single from the original sheet. Although there are bettered centered examples, they have all been hinged and, therefore ,are no longer totally original. If you have the means, consider this treasure.

Certified trades considered and in-house financing is available.
