Few remain. In 1883 the US Mint in San Fransciso minted a series of Charles Barber designed silver coins (dime, quarter, half, and dollar) that were legal tender until 1900 when Hawaii became a U.S. Possession. At that time all Hawaii-unique coins could no longer be used as valid coinage in the Islands. Grade guesses welcome. Result posted tomorrow. Paleoguy45 Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 1:58 pm That is a cool coin for sure. It appears to be very well preserved for a pure (soft) copper planchet. I would have to guess it came back AU details because of the what's going on with the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 5:51 pm AU-50 details, corroded, obv laminations. ANACS doesn't net grade anymore but if they did I'd say VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 7:18 pm Since I have no experience with this series of coin, only held maybe 2 in my hands I'm just watching and learning on this one, I do see a bunch of old corrosion on the surfaces, the lamination defect is kind of neat, I always like weird stuff and errors.
