Hawaiian registry collectors - check this out

I don't often post, and much less to beat my own drum, but I have a consignment with Heritage's FUN auction, which I thought would make a catalog listing, with photo.
It is a Hawaiian quarter in an old PCGS rattler, with a gold CAC bean - the details are as sharp as they come, and the rattler, with it's large flat, clear surface, is amazingly free of any scratches or distracting marks. A very nice addition for those who enjoy coins from the paradise state.
I had been very tempted to crack & resubmit it, but the rarity & condition of the old holder and the old label (along with the gold sticker) held me back. My Heritage rep also thought that it would fetch more 'as is', but a bump of a 1 or 2 points would do wonders for the value. Remember, this was graded when things were much different.

Here's the auction lot -

Very nice quarter dollar!

Having owned this coin in the past, I find it slightly sobering and surprising that it hammered at auction for $50+ less than I sold it to a well known and respected dealer to on the forums. When I first saw this thread and knew it was the coin I owned, I expected the HA winner to have bid $800-$1k. I paid a premium over PCGS price guide when I bought it, but when I sold it I got all my $$ back, and was able to use the funds for the exact same coin in a rattler holder in MS64. Gold CAC stickers may make many here feel all warm and fuzzy, but until and unless you are willing to crack out a sizeable array of them and submit raw--it still to me seems the likes of unicorns and headless horsemen.
