Scott No. 31b; $7,500.

A RARE BISECT OF THE 1864 2¢ KAMEHAMEHA IV ISSUE USED ON COVER WITH THE 5¢ KAMEHAMEHA V ISSUE.

In July 1870, the 6¢ single-letter rate to the United States was established. Since the 6¢ stamps were not available until late Spring 1871, the rate was made up using three 2¢ stamps. As the supply of 2¢ stamps dwindled, the post office permitted some bisects to be used with 5¢ stamps for the 6¢ rate.

AN ATTRACTIVE 1866 5¢ KAMEHAMEHA V AND UNITED STATES 10¢ 1861 ISSUE MIXED-FRANKING USE WITH THE "HAWAIIAN STEAM SERVICE" HANDSTAMP.

This cover was carried by American Steamer "Montana" from Honolulu Oct. 24th to San Francisco arriving Nov. 8th. According to the Gregory book (Vol. 2, p. 239), starting with this voyage, the "Honolulu Hawaiian-Islands" cds was struck in black on fully prepaid mail. Prior to this, black ink was used solely on unpaid covers. He also notes on Oct. 24th, that the Pacific Commercial Advertiser published a notice stating that payment of U.S. postage with U.S. stamps was required. This new regulation contravened postal laws allowing for foreign mail to be sent unpaid.
