Purchased at LB from Certified Assets. The coin has a few ticks, but I fell for the color on this one:

Well here is a link to the "Hawaiian commem" I wish I had.

Almost one of a kind

SoCalBigMark · February 20, 2010 2:05PM

Awesome!

HoledandCreative · February 20, 2010 3:05PM

Not quite all there, but the only one I own.

LeeG · February 20, 2010 5:49PM

Looks to be a nice example!

Nice looking Hawiian (original post) -- a lot of these typically have ugly toning, but not that one.

pocketpiececommems · February 20, 2010 9:25PM

No pic but mine is a FR02 and I thought it should be a PO01

Connecticoin · February 20, 2010 9:26PM

Eagleguy's coin looks nice as well.

That's stunning, Claychaser. Love it. Congrats!

Claychaser's coin looks really nice! You don't see ones like that very often

Holedandcreative's example: I think the artist chose the correct side to emphasize when subtracting metal, and perhaps inadvertently emphasizing Capt. Cook's appearance after his unfortunate demise (morbid, I know...)

lcoopie · February 21, 2010 12:45AM

I would love one like any of the "whole coins" on this thread so far,
are they all that nice? I don't think so.

shorecoll · February 21, 2010 12:50AM

Clay and Eagle, those are both sweet. Mine's a doggie AU and I wouldn't show it if I had a pic.

Somebody needs to create an emoticon for envy.

What a shame.

Wish i were more computer savvy..i have(to my knowlege) the
only pcgs 67..and a prettystunning 66 as well..tough finds! i think
the 67 has a pic in my commem set..if i could somehow pull it into
the thread..the 66 is from the hidden liberty collection and its
deserving of a 67 holder says i...but it still sits in the 66 holder..
pcgs does not agree,but it sure is purdy. Love this issue.

Some really nice Hawaiians here, not the typical toning you see on most of them, which doesn't appeal to me. I don't have one.

Cool thread..from pocket piece to upper grades!
Commems are a lot of fun..
Thanks so much Lee for getting my Hawaiians on the thread..
Im gonna have to learn how to do that..
When you look close at the 2 coins it sure is hard not
to like the 66 more than the 67..that 66 out of the
Hidden liberty set is very cool coin..I feel better about owning it
after seeing the pics side by side.

I think that is the nicest Hawaiian I have ever seen.

mommam17 · February 27, 2010 10:17AM

That's my favorite, when the outside color frames the inside color. MS 70 eye appeal!!

Along with Pinnacle Rarities, I was privileged to have participated in the sale of that coin, along with the rest of the Hidden Liberty collection. It is unquestionably the best looking Hawaiian half dollar I have seen. And it was easily one of my favorite coins from the collection. Hawaiian Half dollars just aren't supposed to be that beautiful.

Incredible!

I agree, too. I enjoyed having the chance to examine and image the coin for Pinnacle (as shown). Thanks Bruce!

And, if you want to see examples of his incredible set, I still have a gallery up at this link: Click Here to View
