Item Description
This stamp has an amazing history. On october 23, 1962 scott # 1203 was issued.Man named leonard sherman of new jersey goes to the post office and buys the dags. He takes it home and notices something different with the sheets. He takes it back to the post office and shows them the inverts. Post master general j.Edward day decides to make a special printing. ( day's folly )
Leonard sherman obtained a court injunction but it was too late. On november 16, 1962 as we know it as scott # 1204 printed millions. The rest is history.
The post office dept gave sherman an affidavit declaring this is the sheet. Mr sherman donated this sheet to the american philatelic society.
What i would have done is not go back to the post office and hold onto it for a few years !! I would be a millionaire !!
Amazing Story !!
