1883 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. In a new secure plus holder. Pop 61; 74 finer. Mostly untoned with semi-reflective fields. As is the case with other coins acquired by Mr. Forsythe when assembling his Hawaiian collection, this half dollar seems to be hand-picked from the available supply with attention given to its overall choiceness and sharp detail in the strike. The new owner will gain hours of pleasure examining the intricate design in Kalakauas portrait as well as gain a better understanding of the nature of Monarchical government through the symbolism of the shield reverse, which uses the central motif from the Hawaiian Coat of Arms. In the center of the seal is a heraldic shield which is quartered. The first and fourth quarters display the white, red, and blue stripes of Ka Hae Hawaii or the flag of Hawaii. The second and third quarters are on a yellow field with a white Puloulou, or tabu ball, pierced on a black staff. In the center of the heraldic shield (but modified slightly on the coin) is a green escutcheon with a five-pointed yellow star in the center (PCGS # 10991) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. The Forsythe Collection. Categories: Hawaii Coins - Forsythe Collection
