VERY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED COVERS BEARING THE 1864 2-CENT FIFTH-SETTING NUMERAL ISSUE ON WHITE WOVE PAPER.

2c Numeral stamps from the Fifth Setting on white wove paper are much scarcer in used condition than unused. By the date of this cover, September 12, 1864, the National Bank Note Co. 2c Kamehameha IV stamps (Scott 31) were circulating in Hawaii (issued June 1864 and known used as early as August 1864). This cover was part of the Henry J. Crocker collection, then passed to H. P. Atherton. It did not appear at auction until the 1996 Shreve sale of the Charles J. Pietsch III collection (lot 1176), where it was acquired by Twigg-Smith for $14,500 plus premium.

Ex Crocker, Atherton and Pietsch. Scott value for No. 20 on cover is $16,500, based on auction realization more than ten years ago. (Image)
