I heard a story on the news that someone in Florida who voted by absentee ballot in Tuesday's election used an inverted jenny stamp, among others, to mail in their ballot. About 100 of these stamps are known to exist. The stamp, if it is in fact real, could be worth $150,000 to over $500,000 depending on condition. The ballot did not count because the voter had not followed proper identification procedures so there is no way to return the stamp to the rightful owner.
