Hawaii $1 - Genuine - one small nick from perfection.

I recall JK saying he "discovered" this piece. Something about a cigar cut gone awry with the nick at 5 o'clock. Anyone recall more details? What a beautiful coin!

    Such a tease...

    While I'll agree that the coin is beautiful and like the fact that you pointed out the scratch (the second characteristic I noticed) it is a shame you imaged it in a TPGS slab so I could not point out the other things (first & third) I saw. I'll not comment further until the grade on the label is posted and maybe not then either. :(

    It’s been for sale for a while.
    I believe it sold on Heritage first, then a show dealer had it in his case for some time. Next it was auctioned on GC. The GC winner has had it on eBay since the auction.

    It’s a cool looking coin, but the damage can be seen. I think it’s worth more than a typical details coin, but less than the current asking price.

    Lots of lines in the fields too. Attractive secondary color

    I'd grade it Unc Details - for multiple reasons.
    But it is still attractive.

    I've seen this a few times over the years and like it even with that mar.

    I don't feel the toning is secondary as the "pull away" happens when there's die grease present.

    Drat! I had a Hawaiian buck and ...sold... it.
    Now I want one again.

    Waaahhhhhhhh :'(

    Curses, Lakesamman ..!!!!

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wait.... now I know why I sold it. It had rubber band stains.

  • Insider2Insider2 Posts: 14,452 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Actually, "corroded" is a more precise description. Be glad it's gone.

  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    In spite of all the comments, I liked it in hand and so did JK. :D

    It's obviously in a "Genuine" holder.
