Description
1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar, Unc Details
Only 10,000 Coins Issued for Collectors
1928 50C Hawaiian -- Obverse Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details.
Unc. Hawaiian commemorative half dollars were struck in June
1928. The mintage of 10,008 coins included eight assay pieces and
50 sandblast proofs. Coins went on sale in early October of that
year, with a sellout following soon-after. The issue's popularity
endures, mainly because of its ultra-low mintage. This piece
maintains the sharpness of an Uncirculated coin, but an inoffensive
obverse cleaning prevents a numeric assessment. Just a few small
bag marks are seen, and each side showcases pale golden-brown
tones.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
