Actually, the US has issued several souvenir sheets through the years that include imperforate stamps that are valid for postage. It is perfectly acceptable to cut the stamps apart and use them as postage on regular mail. Although the majority of people may prefer keep the souvenir sheets intact, there are those who use cut-apart ones for postage and it does make for an interesting cover.
yeah that stamp pictured has way too many issues to hold even minimal catalog "value" and is part of the CIPEX #948 souvenir sheet and considering all the condition issues it might be an OK space filler but nothing more.
The orange and blue colors were used in part to prevent mistaking these for original #1 (brown) or #2 (black). They are also slightly larger than the originals.
