jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 4:33 pm I was thinking of sending a few coins in to get graded. This Hawaiian Quarter was to be one of them. any thoughts on grade? Edited by jedichef 10/13/2011 5:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 6:00 pm I cant really tell you a good grade for the hawiian coins but if I where to try to grade this coin I would probably say its in the ballpark of XF because of the wear on the bust and the highpoints on the reverse so its not AU in my opinion(only my opinion). nice coin.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 8:08 pm The highpoints on the beard and ear are worn down a bit for EF...I'd say around VF30 Edited by DVCollector 10/13/2011 8:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 9:02 pm when I bought it, it was labelled VF-XF due to the rev being slightly better off than the obv. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 01:00 am I think the coin was labelled correctly when you bought it. Whenever I see a "VF-XF" type label or see a coin with that kind of difference in the wear between obverse and reverse I treat the coin as the lower grade when valuing them in my collection. So I'd be calling it a VF if I owned it even if the obverse was XF...but that's just me :) Nice coin, I just saw one of these yesterday and am thinking of purchasing. Thanks for sharing!

jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 11:58 am Surprisingly, it was even priced on the lower end. It was about half what I had mentally prepared myself to pay! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 2:57 pm $50 dollars is a very good price for such a low mintage coin! Report this Post to the Staff
jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 3:25 pm The price raised a few concerns about authenticity, but I was able to return to the seller with my scale and loupe and bought it with confidence. Report this Post to the Staff
