Message:: [QUOTE="dm740, post: 900555, member: 25377"]This coin is fake. I had a similar coin myself but it was the authentic one. To @treashunt you are wrong, they also make copper versions of this coin, I've had one myself years ago, except there were only 18 made in existence in the entire world. All 18 were counted for and are all now held in muesems all over the world. They made 18 copper 1883 Kalakaua I King of Hawaii coins and they also made 496,893 silver 1883 Kalakaua I King of Hawaii coins. This coin is extremely rare, I sold mine at an auction for $17,000 and it was donated to the National State of Hawaii Muesem or something like that. If this coin was real, you struck rich :goofer: but it is fake. Reason being is the texture of the coin, the beard and hair as well and his nose is completley different from a real one. A real one, his nose is more inward and smaller than usual. Sorry to bring you down but this coin isn't worth anything. It is a replica which are still made to this day for tourists that visit Hawaii but it is worth $2-$10? If that is anything to you. It was worth a try though right? Oh and also, a real coin like this would NOT, ABSOLUTLEY NOT, weigh only 21.1 grams!!!!!!!! A real coin like this, would estimate somewhere around 49.2-52.6 grams, it is/used to be a very heavy coin!! Have a great day.[/QUOTE]
