Maybe he was abbreviating "Minuteman".
I would stipulate that the stamp was 'mint-ed' at some point. |

I didn't realize that this stamp had a "fantastic" catalog value. Even in MNH it's $30 or so. I guess the 99 cents + 49 cent postage isn't too far out of line but the quality of the "deal" drops quite a bit. He actually does have a mint one for sale also at $1.99 that is MH. |

I think I know what happened here. look at his other offerings, nothing terrific but he is selling mostly mint stamps in the $10 range or so, a few of them look like decent buys. I'd bet this was a case of listing fatigue. He was using the 'sell similar' function and failed to change the title and write up to fit. |

I doubt the lister has a lot of knowledge of stamps and a nicely used stamp and the term "mint" varies. |

He may have no idea what a 'mint' stamp is, Maybe thinks it means 'nice'.
I often look for second hand hingeless albums and have seen sellers post a listing of a 'Lindner' album when in fact they picture a Lighthouse or Schaubek. I think some sellers think 'Lindner' is stamp language for hingeless. |

In the land of ebay this is considered a rare MNH used lightly unmounted post office fresh gem. |

He hasn't got a clue what "mint" means. Probably thinks it means "really nice" or some such nonsense. |

You just to realize the word "mint condition" is not just a philatelic term like this car is in mint condition. |

Yes, the cancel, creases, and paper remnants tell you that this person has no understanding of philatelic terms. |

What about the thins and the possibility that the lower left corner may fall off? |

You think the seller would had received more if he had mentioned the very rare upside down reversed postage hand stamped cancel? |
