CONDITION The various gradings of stamps arc, in order : superb; extremely fine; very fine; fine; very good; good; fair; poor. A lot described as "very good" is so listed either by reason of general appearance or more often because of a small fault or faults, such as a crease, thin spot, short or missing perÂŁ, perforated into, cut into, etc. "Good," "fair" or "poor" denotes a greater degree of the above . In larger lots degrees of condition denote the average, and copies above and below such description can be expected. GUM

The important question of gum on unused stamps is dealt with as follows:means unused without gum (unless gum is mentioned) or with gum which is not considered original. Ungummed means issued without gum. Part o. &'â&#x20AC;˘ means unused with part of original gum . o. g. mean s unused wi th t he full original gum disturbed, usually due to a. previous hinge . Mint means unused with original gum in Post Office state, but mounted with a peelable hinge. n. h..-never hinged means unused with original gum in Post Office state and unmounted. CATALOGUE
