The new Inverted Jenny?

Any info on how many of the 100 right side up sheets have been found?

What are the ones selling for that have been found?

If I am not mistaken only around 30 have been found. Another part of the puzzle is USPS holds most of them still since the broke the law making them. It is illegal for the postal service to create a rarity and when they made these they did. So what USPS did was pull all the ones that were supposed to be distributed via online sales and they are holding them until they figure out what to do with them. Let me see if I can find the story again...

Didn't realize these were illegal for them. Good story.

Any chance they'll print more of them? I recall them intentionally reprinting a Dag Hammarskjold invert in 1962 and releasing quantities of an incorrect "Legends of the West" pane in 1993 to avoid turning the error stamps into rarities.

Sell them as 'unsearched' Un-inverted Jenny's just like they do coin rolls or Mint Sets.
