FINE AND RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1864 2-CENT FIFTH-SETTING NUMERAL ISSUE WITH MOSTLY MISSING "D" OF "ISLAND".
This very nearly qualifies as the "ISLANI" variety. It is extrenely rare. (Image)
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. Only one other cover is recorded, used in September 1864 and addressed to Keauhou (ex Twigg-Smith, Siegel Sale 931, lot 4111).
With 1995 P.F. certificate (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE 1864 2-CENT FIFTH SETTING NUMERAL FROM PLATE 5-Cx
After Westerberg published his Plating the Hawaiian Numerals in 1968, he acknowledged the existence of Plate 5-Cx. As such, it does not appear in his plating diagrams. It has been reported that five or fewer examples are known. This is only the third Scott 20 from Plate 5-Cx we have offered since keeping computerized records (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A VERY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1864 2-CENT FIFTH-SETTING NUMERAL FROM PLATE 5-Cx, WITH THE ADDED APPEAL OF THE RAISED "I" PLATE VARIETY.
After Westerberg published his Plating the Hawaiian Numerals in 1968, he acknowledged the existence of Plate 5-Cx. As such, it does not appear in his plating diagrams. According to the Pietsch sale catalogue (Shreve), Westerberg described this stamp as "a stamp from hitherto unknown Plate 5-Cx". It has been reported that five or fewer examples are known and this is only the third example we have offered since keeping computerized records.
Ex D'Assis, Pietsch and Twigg-Smith (Image)
