prov'l gov't of hawaii 1896? 2c red

larrynj

can anyone help me get a ballpark value on this stamp, it is mint and hinged. red 2c hawaii, overprinted with "prov'l gov't of hawaii" either 1893 or 1896. ( i don't have it in front of me right now). i don't find it in the scott's catalogue?? where would it be, unger world-hawaii, or u.s.?? my dear old dad had a scott's from 1937 and it was valued at 25c back then, how's it done over the last 69 years? thanks,

2000 Scott value of Hawaii #66, rose 2c, overprinted in black, lists mint for $1.25 and used for $2.25.

Hawaii is towards the back of the Scott US Specialized catalog.

If you have rose vermilion, #65, you are looking at $65 and $75, mint and used.


edited to add other color variety.

used is worth more than mint? thanks for the info, i guess i'll stick it in a drawer and let the kids find it when i'm gone.
