Inverted Wagon Queen Family Truckster

Inverted Wagon Queen Family Truckster (I-WQFT).

The Inverted Wagon Queen Family Truckster (I-WQFT) is a spectacular example of a stamp misprint caused by faulty Gnomon algorithm logic.

History

A junior Gnomon algorithm engineer in Ford Motors' Advanced Philately division misplaced a decimal point.

Result: Ford recalled over million inverted vehicles, but recouped its losses selling stamps to collectors.
