Lot 1144
1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Deep mottled toning with vivid hues of russet, rose and sea-green. In an old green label holder. A beautiful specimen, a solid Gem! 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 pristine Mint State 65 examples left. Pop 440; 64 finer (PCGS # 9309) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
