HAWAII, 1859, 1c Light Blue, Bluish White (12). Plate 2-A, Type III (Westerberg Position 1), huge even margins all around, neat strike of red 9-bar square grid cancel of Honolulu, brilliant color, fresh in every respect

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1859 ONE-CENT BLUE HAWAIIAN NUMERAL ISSUE -- EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST EXTANT.

Examples of the 1c Blue Numeral with handstamped cancellations are considerably rarer and more desirable than pen-cancelled copies. When adding the factors of margin width and sound condition, the rarity of this example increases dramatically. This is easily one of the finest known.

Ex Caspary. With 2017 P.F. certificate
