1883 Hawaiian Ten Cents. NGC graded Proof 63 PQ. Lovely blue and gold toning gives a dappled appearance on both sides. The strike is razor sharp with richly frosted devices (though not so described by NGC) and small, but visible, hairlines in the field setting the limits on the grade which might otherwise nudge it into the Proof 64 class. The central obverse exhibits a deep steel gray hue with, shall we say, splotches of russet patina on Kalakaua and at portions of the borders, while the reverse displays similar mixtures of toning over the mirrored fields (which are nicely reflective) but now including some vivid blue iridescence in the color. With a miniscule mintage, this major Hawaiian treasure pays homage to true rarity. Examples are seldom offered for sale. Very few certified by the grading services: NGC Pop 5; 1 in Proof 66.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection.

1883 Hawaiian Ten Cents. PCGS graded Proof 62 PQ. Old green holder. Nicely toned on both sides. Only 26 struck in Proof. A naturally toned yet still gleaming specimen whose reflective luster seems poised to enhance the overall sharpness seen in the main devices. We note a touch of faint champagne toning touched with golden-rose, moste noticeable on the reverse. Keenly struck with Proof dies -- with full details aplenty on both sides. Call it a winner! Pop 2; 5 in 63; 1 in 65; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 10981) .
According to the main Medcalf reference (a "must have" book for any numismatic library) "Six silver proof sets without the eighth dollar were struck in September, 1883. A year later 20 sets with the eighth dollar (5 coin set) were struck in proof." This accounts for the split mintage of 26 pieces each for the dime, quarter, half dollar, and silver dollar and the 20 pieces struck of the eighth dollar.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.

1883 Hawaiian Ten Cents. NGC graded MS-65. Boldly struck with nice golden toning. The attributes that make this coin a first-class Gem include full frosted surfaces with a thick layer of shimmering mint luster over each side, consistently sharp details, and near-perfect preservation on surfaces that display wonderful original toning. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a full, sharp blow by the dies. Fully earns its MS65 grade. Amply reward this coin the bid it deserves, bidders, you'll rarely see them this nice. Pop 16; 6 in MS66. (PCGS # 10979) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.

1883 Hawaiian Ten Cents. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely blue and gold toning over gleaming fresh luster. This is a noteworthy example whose lovely patinated surfaces show their careful preservation throughout and are entirely free of distracting contact marks. A sharp impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck this, as well, confirming the Gem MS65 grade. Pop 16; 6 in MS66. (PCGS # 10979) .
"The Kalakaua coinage of 1883 resuited from an adroit combination of two apparently unrelated laws: The Coinage Act of 1880 and the National Loan Act of 1882. The coinage act provided that the Minister of Finance could buy gold and silver bullion "with any moneys which may from time to time be in the Treasury." With the bullion he could have gold coins minted of certain specified denominations and 'Silver Coins of the value of One Dollar, Fifty Cents, Twenty-five Cents and Twelve and one-half Cents.' All coins were to be of the same weight and fineness as coins of the United States.
"The National Loan Act provided for the lending of $2,000,000 for specific purposes, the most important being encouragement of immigration and agriculture, and construction of roads, bridges and government buildings. Under the law, the proceeds were not to be used for current expenses of the government. Bonds under the loan act were to be issued at not less than par, with an interest rate of not more than six per cent a year. Principal and interest were to be payable 'in United States gold coin or its equivalent." [Joseph Adler, 1960].
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.
