It is quite a rare and valuable coin. Catalog values range from $250 in VG condition to $4000 in MS-65 condition. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 08:56 am I agree. This coin is heavily counterfeited, similar to a USA Trade dollar or USA Twenty Cent Piece. If you found it at a place or for a price that seems 'too good to be true' then I would be quite suspicious. In-focus, detailed pictures would be best, along with accurate weight in grams. Also tell us how you came by it. Check to see if it sticks to a magnet. Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 11:03 pm I am pretty sure the real Hawaiian dollar is silver. A yellow coin is very certainly a fake, and the surfaces are totally wrong. It is definitely a copy - but it's an interesting coin to copy regardless Report this Post to the Staff
riverine New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 11:09 pm Cool, thanks for the reply! I think I found something that says it's a "souvenir", or metal token. Used to come with a map. Haha! The real ones look amazing. My uncle used to collect coins, and give us cool ones for Christmas, so you never know! Report this Post to the Staff
