Coins of Hawaii
1883 25C Hawaii Quarter PR62 PCGS. Golden-brown toning visits the border of the otherwise brilliant obverse. The reverse displays medium to deep cream-gray and gunmetal-blue shades. The frosty portrait exhibits substantial contrast with the glassy obverse field, but PCGS has demurred on a Cameo designation, since the reverse lacks contrast. A precisely struck example of the rare proof hapaha, or Hawaiian quarter. The one-year type has a commercial mintage of 700,000 pieces, but a mere 26 proofs were produced, part of four-piece and five-piece denomination sets possibly distributed personally by King Kalakaua. Population: 3 in 62, 3 finer (11/16).
