These stamps werediscovered by an on-duty CIA employee who teamed up with some colleagues to purchase the panefrom a post office.

Official queries, threats, and even job losses followedthe group until the sale of the pane was ruled legal. Because the number of existing CIA invertsapproximately equals the number of existing Inverted Jennies (examples of C3a regularly bring six-figure sums at auction), it may be said that current values for 1610c are far too low, cat. $17,500 ....................................................................................................................................................................(1610c) 14,000.00
