HAWAII, 1857, 5c Blue, Double Impression (8b). Unused (no gum), margins showing all four framelines, small thin spot near bottom and tiny tear in top margin

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III SECOND PRINTING WITH A DOUBLE IMPRESSION. ONLY NINE EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED.

According to Fred Gregory, at least two sheets of 20 were doubly printed. On stamps from one sheet the double impression is visible along the left side of the design. On stamps from the second sheet the doubling is visible across the entire design.

Most double impressions occur when the first impression is made and found to be inadequate. The paper is then put in the press a second time, where it receives the heavier impression. It is a common misconception that the weaker impression is the second one.

With 1979 H.P.A. certificate not mentioning any flaws (Image)
