1883 Hawaii Dollar. Medcalf-Russell 2CS-5. MS-64 (PCGS). This 1883 Hawaii dollar offers phenomenal quality and eye appeal. Lustrous, frosty surfaces display iridescent toning of silver-olive, powder blue, golden-apricot and pearl-gray. It is sharply struck throughout the design with an exceptionally smooth, well preserved appearance. The scarcest and most conditionally challenged 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 typical survivor is circulated to one degree or another, often impaired due to cleaning or other problems. This fully Uncirculated piece is a significant find for the advanced specialist. From Lester Merkins sale of June 1971, lot 90. Lot tag included.
