Grading standards:
MNH — Mint or Mint Never Hinged — Mint means the stamp is in new condition, as it was when it was purchased from the Post Office.
NH
— Never hinged — The stamp has never had a hinge applied to it.
H
— Hinged — The gum has had a hinge applied to it.
LH
— Lightly hinged — The gum has had a hinge applied, but the mark left is very
small or light.
HH
— Heavily hinged — The gum has been hinged and the mark left is very large and
prominent.
HR
— Hinge Remnant — The gum has had a hinge applied to it and a part of the hinge
was so difficult to remove that it still attached to the stamp.
DG
— Disturbed gum — The gum has been damaged in some way other than being hinged.
NG
— No gum — The stamp is unused and has no gum.
RG
— Re-gummed — The stamp has had new gum applied to it in place of the original
gum. This is sometimes done to try and deceive buyers into believing they are
buying an original gum, never hinged stamp.
