Lot 1515
1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A hint of light gold tone. And a very lustrous example that collectors can use as a benchmark for other MS64 examples that share this reasonably priced grade. While the strike is forthright and crisp, it is only to be expected since the mint did a yeoman's job creating sharp strikes in the 10,000 impressions taken from the Hawaiian Commemorative half dollar dies; without doubt all of the head and shoulder details are bold.
Under terms of the authorizing act, these could have been made at any or all the branch mints. As it was, they were struck in Philadelphia and not made in San Francisco, like previous commemoratives referring to the Far West (PCGS # 9309) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection.
