Hey Guys, This is what I Sorted Through so Fare. What dose it mean by Hinged? That mean it been placed on the Envelope? I got a Scott book from the Library and this is what I got so fare. Please Enjoy Thanks Badd_UFO
I am suprised no one has helped you out yet. Mint - Never has been canceled Mint O.G. - Never placed on an envelope and still has Original Gum (O.G.) Mint Hinged - It has gum disturbance from a hinge as in being put in an album Used - Canceled by the Post Office
Baddufo Here is a picture of a stamp hinge. It is used usually to stick the used stamp in the album. A hinged stamp in the catalogue mean that a hinge has been used on a mint stamp (hinges where use on mint stamps before). When the hinge is taken of the mint stamp it leaves a trace on the gum. A hinged stamp (mh) has a lower value then the same stamp mint never hinged (mnh).
