1883 Hawaiian Half Dollar. . Medcalf-Russell 2CPC-3. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown CAC Approved. In a new secure plus holder. 18 pieces struck. A sleek warm brown base coin features lovely iridescent accents of color and with strong underlying reflective luster plus richly detailed highlights on both sides. Razor-sharp, as expected, indeed fully struck and with a partial knife-edge or "fin" (the term used by the Mint). A Proof pattern coin that gets honorable mention where fullness of design is concerned and low population is a key determinant of value. One of several Hawaiian copper Patterns featured in this incredible collection of Hawaiian coins! All pattern trial pieces were dated 1883 and struck in copper from the same dies used for the 1883 Kingdom of Hawaii silver coins. Eighteen sets (without the umi keneta or dime) were struck in copper. When approved, all denominations were struck in silver Proof, with the dime eventually adopted in place of the eighth dollar so that the Hawaiian coins would match their U.S. silver coin counterparts. (U.S. coins also circulated in the Islands.) Pop 1; 1 finer in 66BN. Lovely green and lilac toning. (PCGS # 10994). Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000. The Forsythe Collection.
