1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned. The delicately toned color is especially attractive on this well struck Hawaiian commemorative. Only 10,008 1928 "Captain Cook" Half Dollars (as collectors from our fiftieth state prefer to call them) were coined; of these, many, many found a home in change purses or curiosity boxes, they being, for the most part, sold to non-collectors in the islands. Once in the public's hands many got banged about and abraded. To this day, well-toned About Uncirculated specimens turn up regularly at coin stores in Honolulu. Having that in mind you have before you one of the few very choice Mint State examples left. 9,958 coins minted; 50 Proofs were also issued (PCGS # 9309) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 3,000.
The Greenhill Collection.
