They...uh... are.... um... fairly spensive.
I believe they are patterns so they are fairly rare.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Isn't that what that 'coin belt' was made of that someone posted last week ?
I thought those 8th dollars were pretty cool......They may have been 12th dollars......

yes,
also yes on pattern. I...think... 18 made of each metal used.

SOMEWHERE.... I saw it made in silver and copper.
I have mentioned here before, when going to flea markets (large ones) and antique shows, I have often heard people asking at various tables if they had any Hawaiian coins....Seems there is a dedicated collectors group out there somewhere....I have heard this in the PNW, AZ, Fl and NYS....The replies that I heard were always in the negative.

That belt was made of HI quarters which are fairly common.

That was a stunning piece sold at Stacks! But, $50k worth of cool?
