Lot 1948
1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Lightly toned. Popular key date. Smooth, satiny texture exhibits cartwheel luster effects and an original untouched quality that really engages the aesthetic sense with its serene beauty. Many consider the Hawaiian Commemorative half dollar (also known in the Islands as the "Captain Cook half dollar") to be one of the most innovatively made issues in the 1893-1954 early series. Only 10,000 made. Most were distributed in Hawaii. Many went into change purses or were carried as pocket pieces, explaining the dearth of Gem MS65s today: Pop 339; 67 in 66; 4 in 67. (PCGS # 9309) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
