Sale 1247, Lot 792, HawaiiHAWAII, 1864, 1c Black (19). Plate 6-A, Type VIII (Westerberg Position 8), full even margins all around, lightened manuscript cancel, faint toning

VERY FINE APPEARING AND EXTREMELY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1864 ONE-CENT BLACK NUMERAL ISSUE ON WHITE WOVE.

A description in Shreve's Pietsch sale stated only twelve used copies of this issue are known, presumably based on Albert Chang's records. We have offered only two others since our 1995 Honolulu Advertiser sale and Power Search does not contain a single sound example. This example, with four margins and minor toning, is very desirable.

With 2008 P.F. certificate
