Use of old(er) postage on modern mail
This is almost supplemental to an earlier question I posed in this forum - which concerned the current trend of using unused, older stamps on new mailings and their collect-ability. However, my next question has been prompted by a recent sale item which was of an early 1900's stamp, with a late twentieth-century postmark. Does the modern usage of an older stamp increase its value? Is it fraudulent to postally use old, unused stamps thereby increasing their value from 'Mint - unused' to 'Used' without notifying a potential buyer?
