recent "accidental" purchases, part of a Canadian collection

YQQYQQ Posts: 3,314 ✭✭✭✭✭
Recently I purchased a small collection, mainly Canadian coins but with a nice mix of others, including a few interesting US coins.
Below I have posted 2 of them, with a few others to follow later.
Can anyone please be brave enough and attempt a grade for these 2 below?
My main interest is Canadian coins 1858 to 1967, but mainly Queen Victoria.
Your help is much appreciated.
thank you

    1 appears to be XF and is a Hawaiian half dollar or "hapalua". Mintage of 700,000 and worth a couple hundred bucks in this grade assuming it is a problem free coin.
    2 appears to be UNC and is a 1917 D Type 1
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Pretty cool accidental purchases!

    I'd think the 17D T1 qtr is at least AU58 FH from the pics provided, and possibly MS.

    Cool coins. I see the SLQ as a high-end AU coin with loss of luster over the high points. This might just be a combination of weak strike and the photo technique though.
