1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67 CAC Approved. In a new secure plus holder. Pop 12; none finer at PCGS. A hint of light gold tone. Tied for finest graded. A lustrous Superb Gem that has icy white luster glinting through the delicate overlay of color and a remarkable crisp strike. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin is fully brought up by the dies. We see no reason to add in any "howevers" or "if onlys" here, since there are no soft areas as are so often seen on this issue, none whatsoever! (PCGS # 10987) . Before the reign of Kalakaua (1874-91) little had been done about a national coinage for the Kingdom of Hawaii. In 1847, the government issued a thousand dollars' worth of copper cents bearing the likeness of Kamehameha III. But that was all. The Kingdom's business was done using foreign coins of silver and gold, with (as the decades wore on) American money coming to dominate. (By 1884, the Hawaiian government went on a gold standard with the U.S. $20 gold piece being the standard against which all values were priced. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
