1928 Hawaiian Sesquicentennial. Hawaiian. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.A lightly toned champagne gem. Sold in paper envelopes that often gave the coins streaks of unattractive dull amber, this piece has exceptionally pleasing blue and gold toning that is brought fourth by shimmering luster. With a sharper strike then is normally seen for the issue and barely any sign of contact marks present, it is well deserving of its special CAC designation. Hawaiian half dollars are one of the more difficult coins in the Classic Commemorative series with only 10,000 struck, making any Gem Uncirculated piece highly elusive for serious collectors.
