Splendid Near-Gem 1928 Hawaiian Half

1928 50C Hawaiian MS64 PCGS. Although examples of the Hawaiian half dollar can be obtained in Mint State grades as high as MS66 at PCGS (and even MS67 for one phenomenal coin), the price intervals have gotten increasingly steep over the years. The present near-Gem may serve as a wonderful alternative to some higher-graded (and higher-priced) examples. The surfaces are primarily silver-gold, with a dusting of ice-blue on the obverse and amber on the reverse. A couple of abrasions on Captain Cook's cheek and chin may have precluded an even finer grade, but the Hawaiian chieftain's high points and elsewhere are largely abrasion-free.(Registry values: N1793)
