Lot 1240		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A bright and flashy example of this low mintage commemorative. This one has a touch of delicate gold toning around the rim, but none of the usual heavy patina often seen from storage in Hawaii for many years. Fresh luster throughout, and worth a good bid from a collector who can appreciate the quality of strike, surfaces and visual appeal of this coin. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.

Lot 1241		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. This Hawaiian has the usual dusky gold toning on both sides with a few widely scattered ticks from bag handling.

Lot 1242		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. AU-58. This one has been cleaned and remains dull in appearance. Still a scarce commemorative, and most of these have been cleaned several times in the past, and this is no exception. We must recall that a great many of Hawaiian commemorative issues were stored and became toned with not the most becoming shades, so few survive in original mint-fresh condition. This one is nicely struck, and will probably improve over time. Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $863
