Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 9:54 pm I'd say AU-50, with an old cleaning. For comparison (sorry, not trying to steal your thread)... mine came back a disappointing NGC XF Details Cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 10:48 pm Yeah, I assumed it was cleaned when I bought it, but for 100 bucks I couldn't complain. Doesn't bother me when people share their coins, mine is definitely cleaned, looks like it was thumbed pretty heavily to be honest. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 11:31 pm Agreed, good price at $100! Tricky to find an AU-MS example in a straight grade. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3659 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 10:34 pm No opinion on grade. Nice one! Just a few random thoughts: The Hawaii coinage is a challenging series to assemble, but a fantastic piece of history. For the last few years, I haven't seen as many of the Hawaii coins as I did in years past. I don't know why. The higher grade examples attract attention on bourse floors, for sure. There is a really quick way to distinguish the Chinese counterfeit Hawaii ten cent coins from genuine coins. Genuine coins have 120-something reeds and the Chinese counterfeits have around 80-95 unevenly spaced reeds and coarse die chips on the mustache and close to the "II" of HAWAII. IMHO, the Hawaii coins are some of Barber's best designs. Report this Post to the Staff
