HAWAII: Kamehameha III, 1825-1854, AE cent, 1847, KM-1, NGC graded AU58 BN, crosslet 4 variety with 7 berries left, 7 berries right. 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: 600-800 USD
