Lot 1585
1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Nice golden toning on this choice lustrous example. The Hawaiian chief depicted on the reverse is often thought to be King Kamehameha I (d. 1819), but the artist said that it is only a representative Hawaiian Chieftain in traditional royal feather cloak and "malo" loin cloth regalia of the 1778-9, the time of Cook's two visits (PCGS # 9309) .
Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.
