详细说明

Steely teal-blue iridescent toning gently graces both sides of this highly lustrous Mint State Hawaiian cent. Sharply struck, this lovely coin has some minor contact and a tiny fleck or two that account for the grade. The coin was commissioned by King Kamehameha III who, as ruler of the Hawaiian Islands established a new monetary system. Struck by Edward Hulseman in Massachusetts, these were Hawaiian legal tender until 1884. It is reported by Walter Breen that Wayte Raymond traveled to Hulseman's descendants in the 1950s to buy Mint State pieces. Perhaps this is one of those. PCGS 16, NGC 36, CAC 3. The only CAC-approved example to sell in auction realized $990 in September 2019. The current Collectors Universe value is $1,225. Attractive color will entice the type collector. Cert.
