1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Toned. A uniform blending of greyish-violet on both sides. Fully original with warm "aged silver" color showing that it has never been dipped or cleaned. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a sufficient blow by the dies which imparted their sharp relief to the struck planchet. The most noticeable detail is in the King's beard since this is the highest point of the design and often strikes poorly even on the frostiest pieces. King Kalakaua reigned over his island domain from 1874 until 1891. He authorized a coinage of silver dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars, which were struck at the San Francisco mint to the same weight and fineness as their U.S. counterparts (PCGS # 10987) .
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
