Gorgeous Toned 1883 Hawaii Silver Dollar 1883 Hawaii Dollar. Medcalf-Russell 2CS-5. MS-64+ (PCGS). The obverse is toned in classic gunmetal-blue with luster peeking through the rich veneer. The reverse is a bit brighter with more silver-gold flash while the rims are deeply toned in rich shades of teal, blue and russet. Boldly struck for this issue, and extremely well preserved. These Hawaii silver dollars are rarely found so attractive as most were cleaned and mishandled over the years. King Kalakaua I adorns the obverse with his bust facing right, with his curly hair and beard showing strong definition. For the reverse the Hawaiian royal symbols are present with a draped shield, royal crown, scepters, royal cloak, and medallion each intricately designed. An exceptional specimen for the collector who demands eye appeal and quality. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers I have always liked the 1883 Hawaiian dollar. Somewhere or other in a safe deposit box I have a nice Mint State example for this reason. The vast majority of those in existence show wear, with VF and EF being typical. At the MS-64+ level, probably a bit finer than the one I own, it is indeed a find. PCGS# 10995. PCGS Population: 2; 15 finer (Mint State-67 finest).
