Hawaii 1883 silver coin set - a random purchase

    This is a very random impulse purchase. Not quite a US coin collector and I don't even have a Morgan dollar! I normally focus on Far East numismatics. A seller was selling some nice ones but they went way out of my budget. Instead he had some Hawaiian coins that I thought was priced reasonable (or a bargain?)

    I might as well complete the set... just missing the 1847 copper cent. Have to retake the photos as they don't quite do justice. The quarter looks aUNC. A video would show better luster.

    Had a quick read at wiki and found the history of these coins to be very interesting.

    Edit: pictures don't work for some reason

    Used my moderator powers to fix your pix. I guess when you direct pasted them from OmniCoin or wherever, the CoinTalk server didn't recognize the file type?

    I downloaded them to my PC and uploaded them directly.

    Anyway, cheers- cool set!

    I've had two dimes, a quarter, and a half. The quarter was NGC MS62 but the rest were circulated. Only one I can fetch a pic of is this dime.

    I've eyed that series several times, but I am usually out bid at the end.

    my own Hawaii dime. I have a quarter but no image handy. Still on the hunt for the half, the dollar and the 1847 large cent

    I really like the Hi set. be careful, though, there are a lot of fakes out there, especially the dimes, for some reason.

    I'm a fan of these. The set is half complete (or 2/5 complete if you include the cent).

    All this makes me want to get another. Perhaps the dala/dollar, since I’ve not had one of those yet.
