The $1 dollar 1883 gold kalakaua king of Hawaii is a extremely rare coin. All but 50 of these were made in silver. The 50 gold coins were struck and given to Hawaiian royalty. David Kalakaua, was ultimately the last king of Hawaii. In 1898 Hawaii was annexed by the United States, and in 1900 it became a U.S. territory. On August 21, 1959 it became the 50th American state.
(if you are lucky enough to find one) these gold coins would go between
$8000-$20,000 depending on the condition.
Yes, 34 times.
Yes, "War Nickels" or nickels struck from 1942-1945 that have a large mintmark over the Monticello are 35% silver and are worth around $1.50 at the time of writing. Pre-Jefferson nickels are usually worth at least a bit more than face and proof or uncirculated nickels also give you a premium. ------ Many nickels are worth more than "face" value, For example - ALL of the Liberty Head nickels are worth more than face (they were minted from 1883 to 1912) Then came the buffalo nickels - Virtually all of those are worth more than face. After the buffs came the Jefferson nickel. In addition to the "war nickels" (as stated above) there are "key date" Jefferson nickels that are worth more than face. To list a few examples...the 1950D (Denver mint) is a rare (key) date and is worth around 10 to 20 dollars on eBay. Also the 1939D is a key - it sells for around 10 dollars on eBay...depending on condition. In mint state these coins can bring 100 dollars plus. To sum it up. as many Jefferson nickels are worth more than face, it would be difficult to list them all. The easiest way would be for you to ask us here about a specific date. Make certain to include the mint mark (if any) and a rough idea of condition. Or just get a coin value book at the library ( the Red Book) or look it up on eBay as to approximate the selling value.
Karl Friedrich Heusinger died in 1883.
The US never made a gold nickel. The coin is plated. Gold is too valuable for low-denomination coins. Even in 1888 its price was high enough that 5¢ worth would be so tiny you'd need tweezers to pick it up.If the date is definitely 1888 and not 1883, the coin has no added value. If its date is actually 1883 and it only has a large Roman numeral V on the back without the word "cents" underneath, you should have it examined by a dealer. It could be a so-called racketeer nickel that's a regular 1883 nickel altered to fool people into thinking it was a $5 gold piece. However racketeer nickels have themselves been counterfeited so you need to get a professional, in-person evaluation.

Is it a US silver dollar? These are worth at least $20 and maybe more if it is in excellent condition.
Only 5 official coins were struck for the kingdom of Hawaii. 4 dated 1883 and one dated 1847 and none were struck in gold. King Kalakaua I is on the 4 silver coins dated 1883, 1 dollar/half/quarter and dime. King Kamehameha III is on the 1847 cent. The coin is likely a replica of some type.
The value of an 1883 King Kalakaua quarter silver coin can vary depending on its condition and rarity. It could be worth anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars to collectors or coin enthusiasts. To get an accurate value, it's best to have the coin appraised by a professional coin dealer or numismatist.
The replica will have the word "COPY" stamped an it somewhere. All replicas of coins must have that stamped on it somewhere. If it is not stamped with "COPY" it is probably a real deal.
$4.50-$6.00
A genuine 1883 U.S. trade dollar is worth no less than $700 and quite possibly over $1,000 depending on condition. Note: An actual trade dollar has the Seated Liberty design on the obverse (heads) side and says "120 grains 900 fine" and "trade dollar" on the reverse (tails) side. If one side is only a woman's face, and the other side has an eagle and says "one dollar," then it's an 1883 Morgan dollar, worth about $25.
Authentic Hawaiian dimes are dated 1883 not 1888. Look at the coin again and post new question.
$300.00 if in mint condition.
