The inverted Jenny (or Jenny Invert) is a
United Statespostage stamp of
1918 in which the image of the
Curtiss JN-4airplane in the center of the design was accidentally printed upside-down; it is probably the most famous error in American
philately. Only 100 of the
inverts were ever found, making this
error one of the most prized in all philately; an inverted Jenny was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in June
2005 for US$525,000.
