1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 63 Cameo. Lovely gold and blue toning around the edges. Only 26 struck in Proof. The 1883 Kingdom of Hawaii coinage dies were engraved by noted Philadelphia Mint specialist Charles E. Barber who had a hand in making many if not most of the Proof U.S. coins that were struck as well as the fascinatingly beautiful series of Hawaiian silver coins minted in 1883. Initially, in September of that year, six Proof sets were struck which included the quarter (Hapaha); a year later, an additional 20 sets were sent to the Hawaiian government using the same dies. These sets were issued for presentation to dignitaries in the Islands and were never offered for public sale (unlike regular U.S. Proof sets of 1883). This example exhibits deep and watery mirrored surfaces on both sides with frosted devices prominently creating a cameo-like effect as the coin is tilted gently under a light. Both sides are beautifully toned in shades of deep amber and an almost cobalt blue shade at the rims. Very attractive. The remaining surfaces is pretty much untouched by color. Conservatively graded, this specimen will afford the next owner hours of enjoyment as a prime example of late-Kingdom Hawaiiana. Pop 1; the only Cameo graded at NGC.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.

1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Nice cameo effect. Untoned. 26 Proofs minted. Clearly the most visually arresting feature of this coin is its soft, frosted mint luster on the portrait and reverse shield. Full spinning mirrors on both sides create a two-tone effect for these. No one can honestly deny the vibrancy, the choiceness, the visual appeal of the surfaces. Only the lightest of hairlines in the field are noted. Neither can anyone complain about the relief of the design which shows in the fully struck devices exhibiting fine detail to all the high points. The hair curls on Kalakaua (along with his beard) are amazing to view under low-power magnification! As with other Proofs in the series, only 26 were struck in silver.
The 1883 Kingdom coinage was designed by Charles E. Barber of the Philadelphia Mint, according to the Authority on this series, Hawaiian Money Standard Catalog (second edition) by Donald Medcalf and Ronald Russell. "After striking the required number of coins, obverse dies were defaced and are now stored in the State Archives in Honolulu. Hubs, from which the dies were made, are preserved at the Philadelphia Mint."
Pop 3; 2 in 63; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 10989) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.

1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. NGC graded Proof 62. Lovely gold and bluish toning on both sides. Only 26 struck in Proof. Mirrors in full brilliance underneath the toning and with delightful reddish gold toning on the frosted portrait of King Kalakaua. Choice surfaces on both sides with the aforementioned toning, about the only grade-limiting feature seems to be a pair of fine hairline scratches in the field behind the king. A piece that was carefully preserved (but for the lines) a long time ago, and has since acquired some wonderful color. Superbly struck as expected with exquisite frosted devices on both sides.
Proofs are very rare today, they always have been, seldom seen even in coin show exhibit halls, and even less often presented for sale. The Hawaiian specialist will want to consider this piece carefully. Pop 3; 3 in 63. None finer at NGC. (PCGS # 10989) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.

1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Old green holder. Nicely toned. A satiny specimen of the most advantageous order for a collector with its beautiful toning. The high degree of broad-spinning cartwheel luster pulses beneath the patina. Nicely struck, too, with just a small amount of weakness at the usual Achilles' heel on the king's beard where it merges with the sideburn (PCGS # 10987) .
Estimated Value $350 - 400.

1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. 8/3 Variety. Nicely toned. A lovely frosted specimen. Visitors to the Hawaii State Archives in Honolulu can view the very die (now cancelled on the obverse) that struck this particular specimen. Of the five quarter dollar dies made, only this one has the 8 over 3 error on it. It is uncertain whether all five dies were used to strike coins (PCGS # 10987) .
