  good post but i have to admit not caring for the coin.
  i do not like the obverse because we give too much credit to
  a person stumbling over an island chain. sorta like columbus and
  his indians. i know that when i think of hawaii, james cook is the
  last thing on my mind. the reverse is much nicer and does credit
  to the state.
  
  good post lee, but it appears not a very popular commem seeing
  the amount of replies so far ;-)
  
  the toning on the coin pictured looks PQ to me, good choice to display.

  The reverse is one of my favorites among CCHDs. Thanks for the great post

  Good post Lee, as usual.

  Thanks Lee . . . .
  
  Deservedly ranking as the top Commem in difficulty to obtain. I don't see many of them at shows at all . . . and the ones out there get snapped up fairly quickly.

  This story is not complete without mention of the Bank of Hawaii and the coffee. I'm sure someone here can expand on that beyond what little I could contribute.

  I brake for ear bars.

  Thanks LeeG for another great thread. The Milwaukee ANA was a bit much for me, so I took some days away from coins. Here is one of my nicest Classic Commemoratives.
