Auctions | re: Which is the definition for MH stamps
Hey George. This is always a contentious area but I do think some people use the term as an overall short-hand indicator of “Not MNH” to include the various common permutations:
. Mint No Gum
. Mint Hinge Remnants
. Mint (Actually) Hinged
. Mint Lightly Hinged
. MNH But With Unexplained Gum Disturbances
. MNH With Gum Wrinkles (some of which may be from the printing process)
. MNH But With The Catalog Number in Pencil
. MNH With Flaws (like your example) only seen from the gum side
Part of what makes this hobby interesting and frustrating!
As a believer in the simplicity theorem I’d be happy with just “MNH” or “Mint” - like my buddy Soundcrest uses - but I am not a purist.
