Dear Jerry, I would think that your listing ought to state MNH-but stained. The value will be whatever the market will bear, but as a general rule it would be less than an unstained MNH copy. Dan C.

Auctions | re: Describing a damaged stamp that is otherwise MNH
Jerry, Dan is right, a stained stamp is considered a damaged stamp. If it's a common stamp, use it as postage. If you opt to offer it at auction, please highlight that it is a stained stamp. Typically, damaged stamps sell for 5 to 20 of catalogue for better stamps; for common stamps, they seldom sell at any price, unless someone's buying them as discount postage, say at 75% face. David
