Lot 1325
1847 Hawaiian Cent. NGC graded MS-62 Brown CR 4; 15 berries; KM #1D. Lovely warm reddish brown color with strong detail in the main devices. A light line in the field by the King's epaulet is mentioned for accuracy. There is an interesting sidenote to this Hawaiian one cent piece. The person the government appointed to negotiate the minting of these was a man by the name of James Jackson Jarves, a local resident of the Islands. It was Jarves who, in his role as a historian, published at the Honolulu Press, the first detailed history of the Islands up to that time printed in Hawaii -- the same year as the date on the coin, 1847. Pop 39; 31 in 63 BR; 14 in 64 BR. (PCGS # 10965) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection.
