I found this in a circuit book from the APS. The seller, like many sellers, has tried to discount the defect, permitting him to still claim the stamps are never hinged.

"NH Set of 5. Faint lick marks from mounts."

re: New Definition of "Never Hinged"

I have also seen sellers describe NH like this:

"NH with paper on back".

So, the back can look like a battlefield. As long as there never was one of those pesky glassine stamp hinges attached to the stamp, it is NH, and can be priced accordingly.

It is likely the rare nicked gum variety!

My favorite NH usage shows up on ebay from time to time.
NH Used.
I guess they mean it was not previously hinged as a used stamp, but I hope that trend doesn't catch on with other sellers.

re: New Definition of "Never Hinged"

I agree with you on that point.

The usage of "NH Used" usually appears with canceled-to-order stamps. There was a lengthy discussion about that on Stamporama in the not too distant past.

I believe it is a definition from the new reality and called a "Truthful Hyperbole"
A legal form of promotion simply meant to give something the appearance of having more value.
