June 13 2005 - Fifth Anniversary of the First Postage Stamps issued by Hawai'i Post.

A set of 3 postage stamps (in a triptych) and a mini-sheet were issued on June 13 2005 to celebrate the fifth Anniversary of the first postage stamps issued by Hawai'i Post.
All three stamps (above) reproduce the original postage stamps issued on June 13 2000 by Hawai'i Post. Many stamps have been issued since the first set and Hawai'i Post has prospered, and the philatelic press has been mostly positive.

The $2 stamp (above left) prepays additional charges - such as extra weight.

The $5 stamp (above middle) prepays the overnight rate.

The $8 stamp (above right) prepays the same day rate.

The $8 mini-sheet (above) prepays the same day rate.
