1883 Hawaii Quarter Dollar

I know what it is, Thought you guys might like to see it.
Less than 1/2 Mil minted, and most were melted down buy the government in 1900 when Hawaii became a U.S. Territory
And I found this in California at an old home lot the other day
Got it on E-bay now

we will be praying for your job situation and your sale

wish you the best

You might have done better on Stacks or Heritage coin auction then EBay more people with a coin interest would have seen it... personal opinion I don't like the fact eBay forces you to use there Paypal to purchase items now...

Serious?

WTG Tim!

That is a rare find indeed, It was minted in US incase someone didn't point this out.

I have a Hawaii 1883 dime I picked up about 20 years ago, Same as yours only a ten-cent piece.

Congrats :thumbsup:
