What Does "MNH" Mean?

"Mint, never hinged."

In the context of postage, "MNH" means a stamp is "mint, never hinged". The stamp should be in immaculate condition with no visible damage and still fully gummed on the back (if not a peel-and-stick stamp), having never been sent through the mail before. The stamp should also not have any remnants of a hinge (used for affixing to collectors' binders) on the back gum.

A mint & never hinged stamp with full gum on the back, bought from a Discounted Postage seller.
