Freedom from Hunger – Surcharged Souvenir Sheets – 1964 – Inverted Surcharge
According to Mr. Mosden the “Inverted Surcharge’ is a genuine error that was not prepared by the Baroody Stamp Company. He mentions that he found several sheets with the surcharge inverted while going through a quantity of them and was insistent that they had not been intentionally created.
So far, the inverted surcharge has only been recorded on 3 values.

When the Egyptian Government proposed the building of the Aswan Dam, it was realized that the resulting water held back by the dam wall would flood the upper Nile and would drown the statues and monuments built by the Pharaohs. UNESCO, (the United Nations Economic Social and Cultural Organization), promoted a publicity drive to educate the rest of the world to the value of these monuments. As part of this publicity, several countries issued stamps. The publicity succeeded in arousing interest, and funds were raised to finance a project to re-settle the monuments. This re-settlement took as much ingenuity as it did to build them thousands of years ago.
