My thoughts would be that as used stamps they will always have that cut, so no not damaged.
It is really not any different to the UK security slit stamps which we collect mint/used with the slits.

They are Machins that have security slits, in theory to leave parts behind if stripped or soaked from envelopes.
Here is an image of one.

Cut cancels are a form of cancellation. However, per the Scott catalogue, cut cancels normally do greatly diminish the value of the revenue stamp.
One area where "damaged" stamps are not valued less are the first issues from Afghanistan. Cancellation was done by tearing off the corner of the stamp.

The U.S.A. government directive of 1899 directed documentary stamps had to have 3 cuts as part of the cancel. My question is should these samps with the 3 cuts be considered damaged or not?
