Hi!
I have some mint not hinged stamps and they have

ink staines from the bottom sheet of stamps.Can

they be listed as MINT no hinged and is the value

the same as mint hinged stamp. I know any stamp

that is hinged has a lower value then unhinged

stamps, but I do not know if ink stains would be of

lesser value.

Thank you for time!!!!

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.

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.
