1883 Hawaiian half dollar

I believe this is the rarest coin I own. Does anyone else own Hawaiian currency?

I've got a dime which my dad bought in Hawaii for me (and paid way too much), and a quarter I bought from a dealer on the Gold Coast.

And, of course, a couple of tourist dollars.

I really like the whole series, especially the earlier 1847 "Hapa Haneri"

I have always been a fan of the Hawaiian series. I am working on a EF/AU set in old ANACS holders.

I also like Hawaiian coins - but nearly all of mine are of the forged variety. There are perhaps 10 forgeries out there for every original. Nearly all are transfer die copies so you have to look at the die surfaces. Many are silver and some are VERY good. Pictures don't tell the story because they look right. Weight, SG and microscopic exams are needed.

If anyone has or knows of a Fantasy die strike of any Hawaiian silver coin I would be very interested.
