and many more.

Pick up a copy of Linn's Stamp News and there are dozens of ads in the back
selling
US postage BELOW face value.

From the APS website:
Q. Is it legal to use old unused stamps?
Many countries demonetize their stamps after a certain period of time such
as ten years. However, in the United States all stamps issued since the
Civil War are still valid for use. It is still often possible to buy U.S.
stamps from the 1940's through the 1970's at face value or even below face
value from dealers.
