Inverted Jenny used on ballot?
November 2006

Reports claim rarity used on absentee vote

A number of reports in the USA are suggesting that an absentee vote cast in Tuesday’s midterm elections was posted using the famous Inverted Jenny stamp.

Officials in Broward County, Florida noticed an unusual looking stamp as they were counting absentte votes. County Commissioner John Rodstrom, a former stamp collector, recognised it instantly.

The stamp is now being kept in storage, with voting laws stating that along with the vote itself, it must be archived for two years and then destroyed.

Mitch Kopkin, proprietor of the Tropical Stamp shop in Fort Lauderdale declared that whilst it was highly unlikely that the stamp was a genuine Inverted Jenny, it would fetch between $50,00 and $200,000 if it was proved to be the real thing.
