HAWAII, 1863, 2c Dark Blue, Bluish (17). Plate 5-B, Type V (Westerberg Position 5), unused (trace of original gum at top causing toning), full margins to clear, thinned at top and thin spot at bottom, tiny tear at upper right which is barely noticeable

VERY FINE APPEARING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1863 2-CENT DARK BLUE ON BLUISH PAPER.

The 2c Dark Blue on Bluish paper (Scott 17) was printed after Scott 18 and before Scott 20. It is one of the rarest of all Numeral Issues in either unused or used condition, and almost all known examples have small faults. The example offered here is rare with a trace of gum at top.
