FINE AND RARE BISECT OF THE 1864 2-CENT KAMEHAMEHA IV ISSUE USED ON COVER WITH THE 5-CENT KAMEHAMEHA V ISSUE.
In July 1870 the 6c single-letter rate to the United States was established. The 6c stamps were not available until late Spring 1871, and so the rate was made up using three 2c stamps. As the supply of 2c stamps dwindled, the post office permitted some bisects to be used with 5c stamps for the 6c rate.

FNE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE CATEGORY II DOUBLE RED OVERPRINT ON THE 1893 5-CENT ULTRAMARINE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE.
Although not as strong or rare as the Category I double overprint, this Category II error is quite striking and very scarce.

VERY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND WELL-CENTERED USED EXAMPLE OF THE CATEGORY II DOUBLE RED OVERPRINT ON THE 1893 5-CENT ULTRAMARINE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE.
The Category I double overprint on the 5c Ultramarine does not exist in used condition, so this Category II error is the closest one can come to a used double overprint, and this is probably the closest thing to a cover that exists.

VERY FINE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE BLOCK OF SIX OF THE 1893 12-CENT DOUBLE RED OVERPRINT. THIS IS THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLE.
Only two sheets of the 12c were doubly overprinted in red. A review of Power Search and important name sales going back 60 years failed to find another multiple larger than a block of four.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF EIGHT OF THE IMPERFORATE 20-CENT RED 1894 REVENUE ISSUE.
