I think more Hawaiin 1/8 exist on eBay than were actually minted

Dead serious, the counterfeiting is an extreme problem for our hobby...
Ive taken down at least 10 of these listings this summer alone

    That one is gone already..... I am not experienced with the Hawaiian coins, so a short tutorial would help. Cheers, RickO

    Sure, happy to help.
    The 8th dollar was struck in proof format only. Total mintage came out at least 20. Hence why with so many on eBay in "circulated" Cast condition, it raises eyebrows.
