This is a very random impulse purchase. Not quite a US coin collector and I don't even have a Morgan dollar! I normally focus on Far East numismatics. A seller was selling some nice ones but they went way out of my budget. Instead he had some Hawaiian coins that I thought was priced reasonable (or a bargain?)

I might as well complete the set... just missing the 1847 copper cent. Have to retake the photos as they don't quite do justice. The quarter looks aUNC. A video would show better luster.

Had a quick read at wiki and found the history of these coins to be very interesting.

Your collection is absolutely ridiculous. I envy the kind of items you find.

I got lucky with Russian bargain bins a few times but nothing remotely as good as that. I guess it probably helps to buy online.

Just a caveat: the Hawaiian 1883-dated silver, esp. the Half and Dollar, are heavily counterfeited. All silver Hawaii coins were struck at the San Francisco mint, so look at the reeding-they must have SF Mint reeding or they are NG
