HAWAII: Kamehameha III, 1825-1854, AE cent, 1847, KM-1d, PCGS graded MS63 RD, crosslet 4 variety with 7 berries left, 8 berries right, a lovely red lustrous mint state example! ex Joe Sedillot Collection. The designer and engraver was Edward Hulseman, and the coin was privately produced by H.M. & E.I. Richards of Attleboro, Massachusetts. An obvious error on Hulseman's part was to misspell the denomination as "Hapa Haneri" instead of "Hapa Hanele." Although the coin was a disappointment to the Hawaiians, the cent remained legal tender until 1884 and circulated even later.
Estimate: 1,000-1,200 USD
