What do you think

The pictures are a little small, but it looks like a nice Hawaiian. So many of these are toned in an ugly manner and have little eye appeal but this one has a nice light patina and good eye appeal. Grade?

Nice coin. Hard to tell the grade from the photo. It does look like some original patina on both sides.

I like the look. Where is the monster anaconda image?

Like RYK said, I had no idea you actually collected real coins. And this is a pretty big one at that.

Only when I am bored with the Open Forum



Thanks Brandon...Is that stunning or what

That is an amazing coin. I remember as kid living in HI that my dad, who worked for the Bank Of Hawaii,
turned down one of these as a freebie and took a 50 pound bag of Kona coffee instead.
Incidentally, I also remember seeing those coins stored in boxes on top of the bags of coffee,
and I think that is why some of these coins have that rather unique toning coloration.

Thanks, Brandon, phew.

Cokney, when you get bored of the OF, please come back and show us some more of your coins.

Cool, I didn't even know you really collected coins

Immaculate in every regard from strike to surface preservation, this impressive Hawaiian commemorative is sure to catch the eye of the advanced collector looking to add a Premium Gem without funky dark toning to their collection. Many of these commemoratives were plagued with either deep russet mottling or a pea-soup toning over half the coin. Many high-grade examples don''t exhibit nice frost luster either. Well, this coin certainly breaks the mold concerning those aforementioned qualities. Bright luster bounces throughout both sides while the original surfaces have only a slight golden brown monochromatic patina. I would challenge anyone to find a contact mark on this coin without the use of a 5x loupe. It is seriously that clean. If you set up 10 Hawaiians of both MS66 and MS67 grades, I would bet that one would not pick this coin out as an MS66 if they had one shot to do so.
