Ooops, sorry, I haven't read carefully enough.

The answer is no. At least the "series" command isn't doing that.
Internally a series is stored (more or less) as the list of coefficients
plus a function to extract "the next coefficient". Yes there is a
function object, but there is no explicit expression like

  (-1)ˆn * x^(2n+1) / (2n+1)!

stored internally.
