Last I heard there was only one inverted jenny that hasn't been accounted for and it has a guideline in the border. So yes, it's a fake. |

It is a fake. In particular you can tell by the details on the front fuselage.  |

Maybe it's unaccounted jenny? No. There were only 100 inverted Jennys, arguably the most famous stamps in US philately and one of the world's greats, up there with the 1c Magenta, Swedish Treskilling Yellow, and the Whole Country is Red error from China. There isn't a 101st specimen, or a 500th. Yours is a fake/forgery. |

All legit ones have pencil marks on the back indicating their position. |

In this case, Mustafa clearly described it as a fake. Even so, 35 bidders with top bid $77.61 "A fool and his money........."  I have an entire page of them since I can never afford the real ones  The GENUINE PLATE BLOCK is only 4 and is a bottom plate position.  |
