1928 Hawaiian Half, MS66+
Attractively Toned

1928 50C Hawaiian MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The Hawaiian Sesquicentennial half dollar is among the scarcest of U.S. commemorative coins. From a production of 10,000 pieces for distribution (not counting eight Assay coins and 50 Sandblast Proofs), very few examples have survived in the Premium Gem condition demonstrated by this outstanding half dollar. The perimeter toning suggests it came out of one of the five-coin cardboard holders used to market the coins in 1928.

Few abrasions are found on the coin's surfaces. The strike is strong on both Captain Cook and the Hawaiian warrior chieftain. Nice luster emanates from elegant toning, which includes a sophisticated combination of bright-gold highlights on pewter surfaces with an intermingled rainbow of pastel lavender, pine-green, turquoise-blue, and canary-yellow. This key Hawaiian half is a condition rarity of the finest quality.
