<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1572706, member: 42034&quot;]Have an interesting story regarding a Hawian half dollar (1883).&nbsp; Many years ago I was buying a bunch of foreign silver from this old guy (an M.D.) and was paying &quot;the going rate&quot; which was 2.6x face.&nbsp; Thus each 90% silver half was worth $1.30.&nbsp; He had an 1883 Hawain half in nice VF, not cleaned or hairlined in any way.&nbsp; Anyhow I rejected the coin at $1.30 (I was just a kid).&nbsp; Anyhow he snuck it into my pile &amp; I ended up buying it for $1.30.&nbsp; Still have it to this day.&nbsp; Oh, I should also mention, one of the other silver coins was an 1870 Candian half dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
