It's a stamp cut out from the 1947 Centenary of US Postage Stamps souvenir sheet, Scott #948b. It has the design of the ten cent from the first 1847 postage issue of the USA, but in a different color (the original stamps were black.)

Unused, it's worth face value, 10 cents, as postage.

This is cut out from the 1947 souvenir sheet that celebrated the centennial of US stamps. It was purposely printed in a different color from Scott #2 with little initials added above the bottom frameline reading BE&P (Bureau of Engraving and Printing). This is a valid 10c stamp even when cut from the souvenir sheet.

US#948

Thanks for not jumping to the idea you had a rare color error of a mint #2.
