- 1882 Hawaii Plantation Token. Haiku Plantation. One Rial. Medcalf-Russell TE-15. Reeded Edge. VF-30 BN (NGC). Richly original surfaces are awash in deep crimson-copper patina. Close inspection reveals light surface build up throughout that becomes heavier at the lower right obverse border (NGC has mounted this token with the reverse up in the holder). There are no significant marks, however, and the in hand appearance is fairly smooth for a moderately circulated survivor of this challenging type. All Hawaiian plantation tokens are scarce to rare, in fact, and this Haiku Plantation piece is sure to see spirited bidding. PCGS# 600518. Click here for certification details from NGC.
