Lot 1436
1883 Hawaiian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. A white coin. This one leans a little on the prooflike end of the spectrum, which tends to amplify any slight surface marks in the fields (including a minor scuff or reed mark to the right of the date). A lustrous coin all the same and one that has attractive surfaces plus a very good strike. A meticulous strike on every device, in fact, including the high points of Kalakaua's hair and beard. We emphasize this part of the design since a portion of the half dollar and silver dollar issuance shows weakness there. Pop 26. (PCGS # 10991) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection.
