1883 Hawaii Dollar. Medcalf-Russell 2CS-5. MS-61 (NGC).A handsome UNcirculated specimen with eye appeal far exceeding that of the assigned grade. The surfaces are largely brilliant, accented by faint golden shades scattered throughout. Dense, frosty luster slightly contrasts the mild reflectivity that shimmers throughout the fields on each side. The scarcest and most conditionally challenging of the 1883 Kingdom of Hawaii silver issues, the dollar has a mintage of 500,000 pieces, 453,652 examples of which were redeemed. The typically encountered survivor in todays market is circulated to one degree or another, often impaired due to cleaning or other problems. Solidly graded as Mint State, this is a significant find for the advanced Hawaiiana collector.
