Hi Hank,
Yes..it can happen, and is more likely to happen with older
Stamps for some reason than with older Currency.
I did one time, long ago, buy a 1928 Series 'United States
Note' ( I think it was, ) $5.00 Bill from an Antique Dealer,
who had had it sitting in a showcase for a long time...for
$2.00, or maybe it was $3.00, because, as they said, it was
kinda 'worn'...
And another time, from another Antique Dealer, bought a bag
of maybe three or four hundred various denominations of
1930s and 1940s and some 1950s (includeing an "Atoms for
Peace" one as was interesting, of ) uncancelled U.S.Stamps
for maybe a hundreth of their combined face value, because
they were in his view, "kinda old"...
Funny stuff...
Phil
