I was browsing through some auction listings on ebay and came across this description that I have never seen before. BTW the rest of the lot material was also pretty aggressively priced on the 102 cards.  |

Not following this. I find no link in this post to lead me to an example of what you refer to. |

Actually, the description makes perfect sense to me, in the same way as the term MNH precancel. It's CTO, but with full gum, never hinged. In your mind, separate the used/unused/CTO/precanceled designator from NH, H, NG.
In some collecting areas, CTO and/or precancels with original gum are valued differently from those without gum. See French precancels as an example. |

Are you disagreeing, not understanding, or just trying to be a PITA? |

Dan - My apologies. It just dawned on me that you did not understand that the stamps are priced as mint even though they are CTO. In the case of these issues CTO would be priced as used. I trust that it is clearer to you now. In your mind seperate the mnh price from the used price. |

not everyone here is on the same information level. I thought that one of the functions of this board was to educate. cto = cancelled to order by the issuing authority and sold to collectors.they are sometimes remaindered and sold as scrap. a PITA approach is demeaning to all who post information and material on this board. |

Agreed. The discussion about other countries precancel values and so forth serves only to over complicate and muddy the waters. |

The OP asked about the classification, not the pricing. I replied accordingly. How was I supposed to know that the pricing was what was really being discussed? That's not what was asked about.
I repeat: The description "MNH CTO" makes perfect sense... or are you splitting hairs between "NH CTO" and "MNH CTO"? |

I'm with Revenue Collector.
That's how they were issued - with the "cancellation" already printed, and so they are mint, as sold, in this condition. They are certainly not used stamps.
And they are never hinged. MNH, CTO. Doesn't matter how much he wants for them. |

Let us try this again. The catalog price for mint in this case is for mint stamps that have no cancellation, to order or otherwise. |

Sorry guys - did not mean to start anything. Just thought it was interesting given the existing in depth CTO discussions on this forum. I had not seen CTOs described or priced that way before. I meant the post to be a chuckle.  Paul |

Paul, and it IS funny. I failed to get that the notation on the card was the description you referred to. I'm fine now and hope others are, too. |
