I am looking to finish my type collection (before moving on to my complete set) and the 1928 Hawaiian is my last coin, are there any other options you can recommend other auction sites other than ebay? I created a Heritage account but want to look around a bit before pulling the trigger. Raw or Slabbed - I have two collections. I am concerned about this one for counterfeit in raw. (It seems that the same seller who has sold most of these on ebay [Great Western Coin] cleans all their coins before auction). Thank you in advance. |

Congrats on your terrific progress on completing your type set of classic US commemorative coins! I'm also a type set collector and have occassionally written about my coins here on CCF.
My first recommendation for a key coin such as the Hawaiian is to attend a larger/regional coin show. There will likely be multiple dealers at such a show with a Hawaiian (or two) in their case for you to inspect. My preference is to buy coins of high value at shows or dealer shops so that I know exactly what I am buying. Also, the chance to compare several coins at a larger show can highlight the various "looks" of Hawaiians - luster, toning and strike quality varies on Hawaiians so it's good to view multiple coins before deciding which visual characteristics work for you.
If you can't get to a larger show, there are many reputable dealers who have web sites to support their coin business.
Northeast Numismatics often has nice commemorative coins listed, as does David Lawrence, David Hall, Harry Laibstain and a host of others. A few internet searches should yield a good number of dealers from which to chose.
Good luck with your search!
Also, it would be great if you could post some of the coins you currently have in your collection. We always like to look at images of commemoratives around here!

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. commems, I will check out all the places you suggested, the thing is I am always looking for the best deal and nicest coin, so I have a lot of patience until I get drunk and start bidding on ebay lol. Here are a few slabbed, not the sharpest photos, but ones I just snapped a few minutes ago. I will eventually put together a library of quality images and share them sometime.     Edited by azhiker00
