Hawaii 1883 HAWAII S$1 MS NGC Universal ID: 2C5D Coin Specifications Category: Hawaii Mint: San Francisco Mintage: 46,348 Obverse Designer: Charles Barber Reverse Designer: Charles Barber Composition: Silver Fineness: 0.9000 Weight: 26.7300g Diameter: 38.1mm Edge: Reeded 500,000 of these Hawaiian dollars were produced in 1883. After the overthrow of Liliuokalani and the subsequent annexation of Hawaii by the United States, the Hawaiian coins were largely withdrawn from circulation and melted; the silver dollar, owing to its silver value, was most affected by this policy: 453,622 were melted. This left the dollar with a net distribution of just 46,348 business strikes along with a small number of proofs. https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-50028 Edited by oih82w8 07/07/2020 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1747 Posts	Posted 11/17/2020 10:56 pm PCGS Coin Facts has these Hawaiian coins being minted at the Philadelphia mint. Everything else I have read has these being minted in San Francisco (w/o mint mark). Does anyone have a good site to find more information about Hawaiian Dollars. I have seen almost nothing on grading them. Just looking at images on HA, Stacks, etc. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/cate...847-1891/919 Quote: In 1883, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars were struck at the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia for Hawaii. These coins display a bust of the King David Kalakaua. The sizes of the coins match those of United States coins and, although the Hawaiian coins bore unusual Hawaiian denominations, they were valued the same as their U.S. counterparts. or https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...hawaii/10995 Quote: PCGS #: 10995 Designer: Charles E.

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1747 Posts	Posted 11/17/2020 11:17 pm The answer is in Breen's Encyclopedia. The 26 proofs were struck in Philadelphia. The regular mintage coins were struck in San Francisco. It appears that PCGS's coin facts and the individual listings are incorrect for MS coins. Any information on grading would still be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
