Lot Description

Sharply struck with frosty devices and satiny fields. Both sides are warmly and vividly toned in blended steel-gray, olive-green, sea-green and blue colors. Extremely rare in this lofty state of preservation; although PCGS has certified 1883 Hawaiian quarters as Uncirculated on nearly 1,700 occasions, examples have been assigned the MS-67 designation only 22 times. Walter Breen reports in his <em>Encyclopedia</em> that the variety "<em>is plentiful in Mint States owing to the discovery of many rolls of Uncirculated specimens after World War II."</em><p><p><p><p>
