Dug a Hawaii silver quarter today.

[dsrtdwg1]

A friend and I were out in the desert today detecting an early service station/rest stop/crossroads type area.I dug this 1883 Hawaii quarter dollar. I thought it was a Barber at first glance. Question for the coin guys......is this coin too damaged to have a numismatic value?

Very cool find! I've never seen one and did not know that they exist.

Nice find. The answer is no, its not too damaged to have numismatic value. Might get discounted some, but it really doesn't look bad at all.

Incredible coin! First one I have seen posted on here. It is a pretty rare coin, worth something even in that condition. Here are some sold eBay listings to compare your coin with. Congrats on such a unique piece!

AWESOME DIG!!! That is amazing, I've seen Hawaii quarters at coin shows but never seen one dug before. A unique and beautiful find! Even with the toning/corrosion this one is probably worth between $25 to 50 but the excitement of digging it makes it priceless!
