Very cool, ryan. An interesting and mysterious coin.
Lines will form for the very choice coins! Congrats on the purchase.
I'd say you chose well, Darkhorse, I see no marks on that coin at all. And, the thread didn't have a 'blast white' example yet. Very nice photos!
Thanks, Paul, the dealer who sold me this one and several of the others I've already posted, sold some from the same group to another collector...

Can't sneak much past TomB and Illini.... It's a Hawaii Dollar, and a great looking XF40 if I do say so myself. [IMG] [IMG]
Is it the spice, or having to bust them up with the little wooden hammer and nutcrackers? (The rev. of the 1896 sort of reminds me of Old Bay)
Strangely enough, both of those came from Jeremy's (Airplanenut's) eBay site in separate auctions. They just sort of glommed onto me.
