Very collectible! Not many printed! HIGH CV even on heavy cancelled stamp!
There was a great demand for Hawaii stamps from collectors in the United States. Hawaii’s connection to the U.S. was quite strong, and it was evident to many people that Hawaii would eventually become a U.S. state. This made the stamps popular in the U.S. But the small number of Hawaii stamps issued for postal purposes could not possibly supply demand. Postal authorities created “official imitations” and reproductions, thereby collecting a sizable profit on stamps that would never frank mail.
This IS GENUINE! Real NOT A REPRODUCTION!!! This is an original stamp not the collector remake!!!
