Any Commemorative half is cool and also wild.

The great looking Grant that zrlevin posted could have been followed by

any coin dated 1822 or 1922 or by any Comm. half.

So I was a bit low on brain function last night. (shrug)

 

I misread your post, then posted another coin before I went to see what came before my grant. ;)

This one is NOT mine, but it sure was fun to hold in my sweaty little palms before the auction. It is a total mindf_ck of a coin, and the images don't come close to doing justice to it...

I may be wrong but I'm thinking it sold for 62K a few years back. It's crazy.

Did it sell again?

Back to follow the lead with this.

From "The Hidden Liberty Collection" in PCGS MS66:

Authorized to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Captain James Cook’s arrival to then termed Sandwich Islands in 1778, the coins were struck in a relatively small amount. Only 10,008 were minted by the Philadelphia in the summer of 1928. Fifty of these were struck as proofs. The coins were designed by Juliette May Fraser a popular Hawaiian artist. The obverse features a bust of Captain Cook. The reverse bears a likeness of a native Hawaiian warrior chief. The coins were distributed by the Bank of Hawaii, Ltd in Honolulu and strong sales quickly sold out all supplies. Most examples sold to residents of the island, forcing mainland specimens to trade immediately for premiums. The design remains in demand today, and is considered one of the keys to the fifty piece set.
