Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 404 Forging a million-dollar stamp in Photoshop, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques!…Now, today, I'm gonna show you…how to create a forgery of one of the most…famous, million dollar stamps in history.…And here's the story.…This guy right here is the first dedicated…airmail stamp ever printed, back in 1918,…when it cost 24 cents an ounce for airmail,…and it's a two color job, so, the red frame…was printed on one plate,…and the blue plane was printed from another.…And the plane, by the way, is known as a…Curtiss JN-4, which in World War I…was nicknamed "The Jenny."…Now, what's remarkable about this stamp,…besides the fact it's the first airmail stamp,…which I think is really cool,…but also, exactly one sheet of 100 stamps…was printed and released…with the plane printed upside-down,…and these are known as "Inverted Jennys".…
Now, the thing is, while this guy's worth…about $160 unused, in really good shape,…and I happen to own this stamp, by the way,…I'm such a nerd.…This guy has been auctioned off…for as high as $977,500.…Which is why it's so important that we get it right.…
