    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I sent this coin to @messydesk for some professional photos, and... I am extremely happy. He was able to capture everything about this coin that I couldn't (and, I like to think that I take generally acceptable pictures).

    Sir Messy charges a measly $10 for coin shots, and his work is superb. If you have a difficult coin... send it to this guy, and he'll produce images you could only dream of.

    Just look at these beauty shots:

    I have a special connection to Hawaii, although I am white. My father served in the Navy in th South Pacific. After WWII, my mother moved to Hawaii, awaiting my father's discharge. I was born at the Navy Hospital. I think it was in Aiea Heights, Honolulu, Hawaii on December 20, 1947 at 8:30 AM. When we moved back home to Hagerstown, Indiana, my father worked at an RCA recording studio. He got bored, and reenlisted into the Army because the Navy would reduce his rank.
    I loved knowing that I was born in Hawaii. Whenever I would go to church, I was included in the Hawaiian luaus. I had to be careful because I was allergic to seafood. My last luau that I attended was when we were stationed in Germany. I had eaten some shrimp and went into convulsions.
    Anyway, I was wondering if the Hawaiin coins were still available?
