1847 1C Hawaii, BN MS (PCGS#10965)

The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: This is the Plain 4 variety, a VERY high end and very pleasing example of the type! A bold, satiny luster gives the even mahogany brown patina a fantastic look. Generally well struck, there is some bluntness of details, but they are all well outlined. The dies were rusted when this piece was struck with raised rust marks that can be seen with a glass. A few tiny marks are noted, but they have minimal impact on an outstanding visual allure. An historic piece, often collected with the 1883 series designed by Charles Barber, the 1847 Hawaiian cent, 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 107, NGC 60, CAC 21. PCGS/CAC examples have sold in the $1,440 to $2,350 range and the current price guides list $2,100 (PCGS) and $2,300 (CAC CPG). A great type for the collector. Cert. Number 42138256 PCGS # 10965
