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. Scott Retail $1,500.00 as normal from Plate 5-C
