708°		1893, 6c Green, Category II Double Red Ovpt. (60e). Block of 25 with imprint selvage at both sides, every stamp with clear second overprint split horizontally, original gum, slightly tropicalized on some and few h.r., deep rich color, some reinforced perf separations and gum creases THIS IS THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLE OF THE 1893 6-CENT PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE WITH DOUBLE RED OVERPRINT. A SPECTACULAR RARITY. Based on the examples observed, at least three 6c sheets were doubly overprinted in red. The Scott Catalogue lists this stamp only with a Category II double overprint, although a single with a strong second overprint is shown at www.hawaiianstamps.com, and the pair offered in this sale (lot 709) certainly appears to be of Category I strength. The Honolulu Advertiser collection contained a part-imprint horizontal block of 10 with a Category II double overprint, and the block of four in the Pietsch sale probably came from the same sheet as the Advertiser block. The block of 25 offered here is a third source of double overprints, also of Category II strength. Scott Retail for a single Category II double overprint is $1,000.00 (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	E. 7,500-10,000 CLOSED Will close during Public Auction
