Some time the stamps are stuck upside down
This might indeed be special. I have an envelope that has three U.S.
1-cent stamps on it, upside down. At that time, U.S. stamps
denominiated for less than 10-cents had a leading zero in the
denomination. Thus, 01 became 10. The envelope was mailed at a time
when the postage rate for such an envelope was something in the range of
20-center to 30-cents. This envelope is collectable because it was
delivered through the mail with insufficient postage, the result of a
poor decision on the design of the stamps.
