This is a 1883 Hawaiian silver dime in at least Very Fine, graded by a local coin dealer as Extra Fine condition;
minted when it was still a kingdom.
The obverse is a likeness of King Kalakaua I.
The reverse depicts the kingdom's shield.
Please see the pictures.
I am not a professional grader by any means, nor do I hold myself out to be one.... nor does this industry have any standards that one needs to meet to become a professional grader/opinion giver. I have relied upon my local coin dealer for grading. Any grades that I offer are strictly opinions. Sometimes this opinion is based on what I purchased the coin as. Sometimes this opinion is based on local coin dealers opinions. Many times the opinion is based on comparison with slabbed coins that I have from PCGS and NGC. Most important is that you realize that ALL GRADING is a subjective opinion and can and WILL vary from person to person, and grading service to grading service, and, sometimes WITHIN a grading service as well.
