If any of the stamps sold by the commissioner in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, or any stamps in his possession, shall become damaged to the extent that they cannot be used, then the commissioner shall destroy said stamps. However, he shall first make a list thereof as to the denominations and amounts of said stamps, and shall submit the list and stamps to the state treasurer, and the stamps shall be counted and such lists shall be attested by the state treasurer, and after such verification and attest, said damaged stamps shall be destroyed then and there in the presence of the state treasurer, and the said list of denominations and amounts which have been attested by the state treasurer shall be kept as a permanent record in the office of the commissioner. If such damaged stamps shall have been sold by this state to any dealer under the provisions of this chapter, the commissioner shall exchange new stamps for such damaged stamps and shall dispose of the same as provided in this section.
