This arrived yesterday for my 1883 Hawaii denomination set.

Pictures were bad but could tell there was some interesting color there. :+1:

Fields are PL - coin prettier in hand than what I can show from the quick cell phone pics. Might try and get better pics later.

    I'll bet that's the coolest coin you've bought lately. ;)

    That's actually unusually nice color for one of those - they're often dark and splotchy.

    Here's a better look at the color - hard to capture the PL look - I admire the coin photographers that can do it!

    Nice. I like pieces with the toning like that that is different depending on the angle it is held at. You will need to send it off for glamor shots.

    Nice coin.... When I used to go to coin shows in the PNW, I often heard collectors ask table holders if they had any Hawaiian coins...Seems to be a small segment of collectors that look for these...Cheers, RickO
