1918 Twenty Four Cent Inverted Jenny

The Finest of the Five Recorded Mint N. H. Copies

1001

1001 �� #C3a, 24c Carmine rose and blue, Center Inverted, pos. 77, an extraordinarily choiceand exceptionally fresh mint example of this coveted and storied error rarity, wonder-fully well centered amid large margins, beautiful rich colors on crisp clean paper, whilefull and even perforations all around further enhance its considerable eye-appeal, plusits reverse reveals immaculate original gum which is never hinged,light pencil num-ber "77" at bottom right as marked by Eugene Klein on all positions on the sheet of 100,choice very fine; the highest graded mint never hinged example; 2014 P.F. Certificate(VF-XF 85; SSV $1,000,000.00 for VF 80).

The 1918 Twenty Four Cent Inverted Jenny is one of the most recognized and desired rarities in all ofphilately. Its legendary status began the moment the stamp was issued in May, 1918, when William T.Robey purchased the entire error sheet of 100 at the New York Avenue Post Office window in WashingtonD.C. - May 14th - just one day after the stamp was issued. Within one week Robey sold the sheet for$15,000.00 to the well-known Philadelphia stamp dealer Eugene Klein (an impressive return on hisinitial $24.00 investment). Shortly thereafter Mr. Klein sold the sheet to the renowned, yet eccentric col-lector, Col. Edward H.R. Green for $20,000.00. Col. Green asked Klein to break up the sheet for himinto singles and blocks, then instructed him to sell all but the few key position blocks. What is puzzlingis how, given the immediate attention created by a spectacular new error, so many of the stamps from thesheet have been poorly handled and stored over the years. In fact, there are at least six examples whosewhereabouts are unknown and possibly lost to philately. A great many of the known copies have vary-ing degrees of faults and some even have lost all of their original gum. Improper hinging has caused asignificant number of the faults, often thinning or creasing the stamps and nineteen have straight edges..This example from the J.E. Safra holding, which he acquired in a 2 February, 1994Christie's auction of the "Westport" collection for $173,000.00, is the finest of the merefive mint never hinged copies of the 24c Jenny with inverted center recorded, the mostfamous and widely recognized stamp in philately. It has previously graced the collec-tions of Colonel Edward H.R. Green, Frederick H. Douglas of Rumson, N.J., who sold itthrough John A. Fox at auction on 30 July, 1959 for $6,100.00 to Raymond H. Weill act-ing as agent for Dr. J.A. Graves. It was next offered publicly at the 1982 Siegel Raritiesof the world auction, and sold again to Weill acting as agent for "Westport." It realized$198,000.00 a then record price for a single United States stamp. The most recentappearance of a mint n.h. copy was the Robert A. Siegel sale of the Beverly HillsCollection in October, 2013. That copy, which was graded VF 80 by both the P.F. andP.S.E. hammered for $500,000.00.(photo) 1,000,000.00
