I will take a better look at this when I get off work. I'm on my phone right now and I don't want to grade or authenticate from an iPhone.
Rest in Peace

Looks real. There is information in the Red Book. !00,000 minted by the Kingdom of Hawaii. "After Hawaii became a U.S. Territory in 1900, the legal-tender status of these coins was removed and most were withdrawn and melted."
Red Book value for a F-12 grade $400 (2010 Red Book)
Rest in Peace

100,000 Minted coins across all varieties; 88,405 where redeemed an exchanged by US standard coinage and then melted. This leaves less than 11,600 in existence at that point.

Wow, what a beautiful coin.

I couldn't say genuine or not but as just a general observation the surfaces, edges, and details don't throw up any red flags.

I'd conservatively grade it a nice AU with some great original red mint luster.

This is a great coin. It definitely appears to be genuine. As far as grade I would say that it is a high AU-55 with a Red Brown designation.
AU-55 RB.
