I have two 1/4 Dalers of Hawaii, both of them damaged, unfortunately.
With this coin,
slight wear on the eyebrow, nose and moustache,
slight weakness on the reverse lettering,
few nicks in field consistent with grade.
Odd rim damage near the date?
The '1/2 D' has some lumps of metal.
AU 55.
It would be natural to assume that these coins have been faked. How much does it weigh, and does it have the same ring tone as a standard 90% half dollar?
(no pun intended).

with biggfredd--that's ~9% underweight. It can't be .900 silver; it's some other alloy.
