EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE AND OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE 1864 ONE-CENT NUMERAL ON LAID PAPER WITH A LEGITIMATE POSTAL CANCEL.

The 1996 Pietsch sale catalogue (Shreve) reports "less than ten known" of Scott 23 in used condition, presumably based on Albert Chang's records. This is one of the finest of that population.

1336 c Image1864, 1c Black, Laid (23). Plate 8-A, Type I (Westerberg Position 1), large margins all around, cancelled by heavily impressed strike of 9-bar square grid (tied thru by sharp ends of bars), used with pair of 1864 2c Rose Vermilion (31), tied by matching square grid, and United States 1863 5c Brown (76), tied by cogwheel cancel on 1866 cover to Monticello, Iowa, red "Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid Mar. 5" circular datestamp, "San Francisco Cal. Mar. 21" double-circle datestamp, carried by either the Adeline Burke (cleared Mar. 3, arrived Mar. 21) or Onward (cleared Mar. 6, arrived Mar. 20), manuscript "Emeline" written across one 2c Kamehameha IV stamp, referring to an inter-island schooner, see below for condition notes

THE ONLY RECORDED COMPLETE COVER FRANKED WITH ANY OF THE ONE-CENT HAWAIIAN NUMERAL ISSUES.

We record a cover front from the Catholic Mission correspondence with an 1863 1c Numeral (offered in this sale as lot 1118), but we do not know of another complete cover with any of the 1c Numeral issues, which were intended for inter-island newspapers and saw very limited use. This cover is properly franked for the 5c Hawaiian rate and originated in Hilo, based on the use of the black square grid in 1866.

When found, the left edge of the cover had been cut off and the bottom was roughly opened. The left 10mm of the envelope and part of another 2c stamp have been added to improve the appearance. The bottom edge has been reduced slightly for the same reason. There is some minor toning, but overall the cover is quite attractive and the 1c Numeral is Extremely Fine. Viewed from the back of the address panel, embossment from the corner of the strongly impressed grid can be seen behind the 1c stamp, confirming that the stamp originated on this cover.
