You would not believe what ALL of them were selling for in 1989 because of an &quot;investment grade&quot; promotion. The values feel like a house of cards. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Hawaiian I have owned for many years. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1620629[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The remarkable thing about the Hawaiian half dollar was that Congress authorized it at all. Hawaii was only a territory in 1928 and had no representation in Congress. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another good thing about the coin was that the distribution was mostly fair unlike some commemoratives were the issuing agencies or dealers &quot;soaked collectors.&quot; The one thing that might not have seemed cool was that the Dole Pineapple Company hoarded a bunch of them. One of the Bowers&#039; auction firms, I forget which one, maybe Bowers and Ruddy, sold them years ago. The whole auction catalog was one Hawaiian half dollar after another![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
