385 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $1,300.00 |
1928 Hawaii NGC AU-55.
|
Very close to UNC, each side still displays considerable swooping luster that attests to the AU-55 grade. Aside from a small darker patch near 1:00 of the reverse, this is basically an off-white coin... |

512 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $1,250.00 |
1928 Hawaii NGC UNC details/improperly cleaned.
|
Perhaps inappropriately wiped, but only lightly as hairlines are not easy to find, showing modest textural change in front of the portrait. Rather good eye-appeal for a coin with so-called... |
|
547 | The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013 | $3,000.00 |
1928 Hawaii NGC MS-65.
|
Eunice Peters Estate. Chartreuse-gold illuminates the fields and casts shadows of coal-orange toning toward the rims, especially above Captain Cook's head. Minimal contact affects either side,... |
|
1326 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $1,950.00 |
1928 Hawaii. PCGS MS-63.
|
Surprisingly bright for a Hawaiian half-dollar aside from slight greying of the highpoint details. Modest contact marks here and there in the fields determine the grade. |
|
1064 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,800.00 |
1928 Hawaii, UNC.
|
Screaming bright and perhaps recently dipped, but this commemorative half-dollar shows long, swooping lines of luster that shimmer readily through the fields. A trio of reed marks in the obverse... |
|
1100 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,900.00 |
1928 Hawaii. AU.
|
Luster flows beneath a thick layer of toning that is tough to interpret. Dark patchy grey cuts a path from center left to lower right across the obverse, while the reverse has a large patch of... |
|
282 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,400.00 |
1928 Hawaii. AU/pvc.
|
Many collectors might deem this an UNC at first glance, as the luster is nearly complete while it propagates through the fields. Closer inspection reveals definite wear on both sides, but of more... |
|
283 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $3,100.00 |
1928 Hawaii. NGC MS-64.
|
Luster has somewhat more "pop" than expected of MS-64, in spite of a prominent layer of chartreuse-gold patina that thoroughly dominates both sides. Minor ticks are widely scattered in limited... |
|
440 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,525.00 |
1928 Hawaii. PCGS Genuine.
|
Stripped of the original surface and nearly devoid of luster, this Hawaii commemorative half instantly looks too bright and strangely reflective from any viewing angle -- concise confirmation of the... |
|
386 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,550.00 |
1928 Hawaii. MS-60/dipped.
|
Sporadic wispy hairlines look like slide marks and suggest previous storage in an album, though this is a white coin with no toning even on the edges. Surfaces are commendable for being so free of... |
|
1133 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,625.00 |
1928 Hawaii. MS-60/PVC surface film.
|
PVC residue clouds the entire surface, leaving your cataloger to judge this coin only on its merits of surface quality and wear. From this standpoint, it is clearly an uncirculated coin; however, it... |
|
1215 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $1,700.00 |
1928 Hawaii. XF-45.
|
This is a solid XF coin that may have a shot at grading AU. There is still a lot of original mint luster and only minimal marks. This is one of the toughest Commemoratives out there, so don’t be the... |
|
1583 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $3,200.00 |
1928 Hawaii. PCGS MS-64.
|
There was a meager mintage of only 10,008 of this handsome issue, and most of those were mishandled by their owners. Its exquisite satinlike surfaces are complemented by an original silver aspect... |
