Questions & Comments
These are not MNH. They are CTO's. Cancelled to order for sale to the philatelic market. They were not used as postage, but made to appear as though they had been postally used.
I am aware of your description and it is accurate. I mentioned in the description that they were CTO's. Thanks for paying such close attention to my auctions!
CTO is especially common in countries that try to make money from collectors by issuing large numbers of topical stamps. To make more sales, the stamps must be inexpensive, but if the issuing postal service prices them below face value, commercial mailers could use them to save money by routing their mail through the issuing country, financially hurting the issuer. So these countries issue most of their collector stamps as CTOs. It is easy to recognize such stamps. The cancellation is neat, usually in one corner without a town name, and the gum is still present. And, YES, they are mint and never hinged!
