This is a piece that I really wanted to buy when CRO listed it a while back...but someone else pulled the trigger first. Well I ended up stumbling across it again, contacted the seller, and learned that he is another of our very own forumites [thanks to njcoincrank and Numismatic Americana image]...confirming yet again that we all inhabit a relatively small 'coiniverse'...now that I have it in-hand I couldn't be happier. These are CRO's archive pics and they're pretty sweet but still, in-hand, I think it's even better...the luster on this baby has that 'wet' look and the colors glow. A superbly eye appealing piece. Thanks for lookin'!

    That is a beautiful Hawaiin, especially with the toning! I like when it tones just nice and crisp but nothing too detracting. Very nice!

    I know it's tough to grade by photos but it sure looks like it should be in a 65 holder.

    The matched Hawaiian denomination set was circ., this 25c was a stand alone item.

    Wonderful coin. It's hard not to see that at least as a lower end MS65 coin. CAC needs to see the coin at at least MS65.4 to gold sticker it. It just may be that they would prefer to save
    those gold stickers for MS65.5 and MS65.6 coins. Hard to believe that didn't find its way into at least an NGC MS65 holder during the pre-2009 market.

    Looks like Mark Goodman took those. IIRC, he was the CRO "house photog" for a long time;
    maybe still is.

    Not really. The collector who sold us this coin had purchased it raw in the 1980's, submitted it to PCGS himself years later and owned it continuously until 2012.
