1891 Kahului Railroad Token, AU53
75 Cents, Medcalf TL-14
Only Four Examples Certified

1891 Token Kahului 75 Cents AU53 PCGS. Medcalf TL-14. The Kahului Railroad Company operated a 15-mile track between Wailuku and Kauiaha on the island of Maui. The company produced a series of six brass tokens (10, 15, 20, 25, 35, and 75 cents) in 1891. All survivors are extremely rare, with just a couple examples of each of the lower five denominations certified at PCGS plus four of this denomination. Additionally, one 20 cent and one 25 cent are reported at NGC.

Powder-blue accents complement the olive and brassy-gold surfaces of this lightly circulated Hawaiian relic. Both sides show small abrasions and a bit of high-point rub, but they are essentially unimportant given the absolute rarity of this token. Listed on page 425 of the 2022 Guide Book. Population: 2 in 53, 2 finer (11/21).
From The Big Island Collection of Hawaiian Coinage and Tokens.
