I Bought Hawaii posted by DrDarryl

I bought Hawaii, however it was not an entire island....

 

I don't have deep pockets like Larry Ellison (billionaire Oracle Corp. CEO) to buy the island of Lanai in Hawaii....

 

But I did recently buy a HK-548 Hawaii Statehood So-Called dollar to add to my collection. I already have one that is NGC graded MS66. However, this beauty is MS64PL.

 

NGC census indicates only 6 PL have been graded (3 MS66PL and 3 MS64PL). Total HK-548 graded by NGC is 27.

Price was a steal on eBay. I did some online research (I remembered a MS64 sold in an April 2012 Heritage auction). That buyer paid $230 without buyer's premium. My recent purchase cost was only 23% of the April 2012 price (and I got a PL version).

 

Picture is of my favorite beach on the north shore of Oahu. Actual picture taken by me. And yes those are my foot prints. Enjoy...

That's it! I can't take it anymore!

I must make it back to Hawaii! Dr Darryl, your picture is absolutely breathtaking! I won't be happy until those footprints are mine! All the best.
