The 1881 Hawaii 5 Cent piece isn't very eye appealing, but sure demands an extremely high price tag. These patterns were struck years after the date 1881, and never went into regular circulation.
When looking at this coin, and comparing it with the popular silver issues of 1883 (Dollar, 50 Cent, 25 Cent, Eighth Dol, 10 Cent), you will observe a dull, lack of luster appearance. This characteristic, along with 3 serious errors in the casting of the dies, made this coin unattractive to King David
Hi Guys, Nobody can come up with a percentage or round figure, for the 1883 Hawaii 25 Cent, with the "recut" date. I have heard a lot of "theories" on this item, and would like to hear more, if anone would like to comment on it.
I have heard a lot of "theories" on this item, and would like to here more, if anyone would like to comment on it. I kind of hesitate to comment on it, but I have to. After discussing this with Don Medcalf, who is to me, the the "Guru" of Hawaiian money, here is what I
Hawaii proof coins are very breathtaking. My 50 Cent Proof63 is so nice to look at, I look at it with heavy magnification lots of times. And I never get tired of it. NGC graders gave this coin a PF63, with none finer. I would be frightened, to grade this coin lower than any others. I don't know the criteria they use when grading proof coins, but I do know that they know something that I don't

Guys, I am batting "zero" in downloading scans of my PCGS coins, in the signature section. I have no problems in the competitive section. Maybe there is some kind of esoteric, clandestine code that only certain prople have the right to use.

Hi Guys,
Everyone likes reading my journals, so it seems. There is no way I can deprive you any longer, from seeing this beauty. This is, as far as I am concerned, the absolutely nicest Business strike Hawaii Dollar that there is.Too bad the grading companies don't agree with me, wouldn't give her a 66. I guess that's allright, she is the only MS65* Hawaii Dollar accounted for. I have seen two of the six 66's, looked at them for over a half hour with a 15 power loop. There is no doubt in my mi
I think that this 1883 Hawaii Dime is a real "Bomb". I have a lot of Monster Toned Hawaii coins, and probably should join the "Toned Coins Collector Society". Just like the Hawaii Dollar in my last journal, This is a one of a kind dime
This Hawaii Dime is graded MS66*, and according to the population reports, she is the only one. There are no '67 Hawaii Dimes yet, so the "star" makes this Dime the highest graded in the system. There are no blemishes, bag marks, and so on, and the eye appeal is

For some reason, the signature section won't let me download pictures. I will try to copy them into the journal body

Since the Signature section is not "user friendly" to picture downloads, I have to paste them on my journal
