Postage that cost a bomb

Inverted Jenny.The 1918 U.S. 24-cent airmail stamp known as the 'Inverted Jenny' is seen in this picture. A Florida voter may have unwittingly lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by using an extremely rare stamp to mail an absentee ballot in Tuesday's congressional election, a government official said Friday. The 1918 Inverted Jenny stamp, which takes its name from an image of a biplane accidentally, printed upside-down, turned up Tuesday night in Fort Lauderdale, where election officials were inspecting ballots from parts of south Florida.
