curious77 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 9:57 pm i have a bullion/token from Hawaiian Mint that I cannot find any info except minimal info from a blogger {im guessing} who posted in THE HAWAIIANA NUMISMATIST dated 07/26/14 in which he states he had seen the piece that have while browsing a ebay auction in which he had seen this coin/bullion for the first time ever. He further stated that it was probably either a test strike not meant for circulation and only 90 were made, and that it was 2 different bullion dies from seperate bullions that had been accidently mated together or purposely mated together as the test strike but ended up not being what was choosen for circulation. So it was kind of unclear as to which or if he even really knew what he was talking about. I'm really curious to find out more about this piece if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

DrDarryl Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 10/13/2019 7:36 pm The Hawaiiana Numistmatist is back...just return from a early fall vacation in Hawaii. A few cool pictures of me ocean kayaking. The following information is from Bernard von NotHaus (co-founder) of The Hawaiian Mint that was later renamed the Royal Hawaiian Mint. The actual reference is Waifs in Gold Boots by Bernard von NotHaus. First: The 1883-1983 Centennial obverse design was used on 39 mm planchets (gold (pattern), silver, and bronze (pattern)). See the image below. Second: The specimen in question does not have the Centennial Dala reverse design. Third: The specimen in question has an advertising reverse design. Fourth: The specimen in question has signs of reverse Die Deterioration (notice missing part of the letter L in HONOLULU and Cud under the H). Fifth: The specimen in question is not a official issue, since it is not listed in Waifs in Gold Boots. Sixth: It's a known fact that The Hawaiian Mint/Royal Hawaiian Mint stuck advertising specimens by interchanging issued obverse dies with an advertisement reverse die. The specimen in question is of low quality as a result in the overuse of the reverse die. In closing, most of these advertisement pieces when handed out to tourist at their Waikiki location to entice individuals to purchase silver and/or gold issues.
