1883 Hawaii Half Dollar. Medcalf-Russell 2CS-4. MS-64 (PCGS). A handsome and completely original piece, both sides exhibit speckles of vivid blue, orange, and violet highlights on bold satin luster. The original mintage came in at 700,000 pieces for this issue, however most were melted leaving a net mintage of 87,755 pieces for circulation. Especially attractive and scarce this nice and downright rare any finer. These coins were designed by Charles E. Barber after Claus Spreckles, and struck at the Philadelphia Mint. PCGS# 10991. NGC ID: 2C5B.
