Aren't those worth some bucks - I have some memory of seeing real values associated with those coins (it's silver yeah ?)

( I guess it's the nickel that's worth big $$$ but I think your quarter is like $75.00 - not bad at all )

redbook says 499,997 minted,now the plantation tokens those are rare,as is the 5 cent.still a pleasant surprise for a short hunt

That Hawaiian is incredible!!!

 

[slowwevo]

thanks

 

[slowwevo]

well I thought it was special,maybe this is a common find here

I know ive never seen one . Looks pretty cool to me

 

[slowwevo]

apparently your not the only one,and here I was thinking this was the winner from the trip,maybe I needed in situ pics

Truly awesome find, never seen one posted here or elsewhere. Unfortunately, the 1883 Hawaiian silver series has been faked by the Chinese and Russians for years (at least 20), with some of the fakes being made of silver and with very high quality dies and simulated patination/circulation wear. On eBay and at sales/shows there are gobs of those fakes floating around, which I think has discouraged collectors and suppressed prices.

I'd love to own a real one in decent shape, but barring digging one like you did I couldn't be certain of its authenticity. Really is a spectacular find and great chunk of history!

I wasn't aware of this,thanks for that ,i'll run it up to my boy with a mass spec gun,and give it a look under the scope

Excellent find. Can we see a pic of the back.

Man.....tough coin to come by I would say. How about a pic of the back? This is banner worthy! Doesn't have to be American to a popular and desirable low mint number.
