if we have any...

my mum makes me ask this. she has a stamp only it has a date error - 1837 instead of 1847. She had it valued in Poland and apparently it isn't worth anything but she says I should ask people on hatrack because she didn't quite believe the stamps people... so, if anyone has an idea, i'd be quite grateful.

It looks like a lot were printed, which might be why.

Likely so. Errors are only valuable if they are rare, generally speaking.

A U.S. stamp of Dag Hammarskjold once had an invert error. The post office deliberately printed a whole bunch more inverted stamps once they discovered the error, to prevent rarity. As a consequence, the inverted stamps are worth about the same as the normal stamps.
