Description
This 1883 Proof Hawaiian Quarter, cataloged separately under PCGS #509652 and NGC #750018, represents a distinct die variety or die state from the standard proof quarter (PCGS #10990). The separate catalog entries indicate a recognized difference between this piece and the other proof quarter type, which may involve a die crack, polishing difference, or other distinguishing feature. The existence of multiple proof quarter varieties within such a small production run illustrates how closely Hawaiian numismatic scholars and grading services have studied these pieces. Every proof Hawaiian coin has been individually scrutinized, and even minor die differences warrant separate catalog entries given the extreme rarity and high value of each piece. NGC number 750018 places this in a different catalog sequence from the standard NGC #50021 quarter proof, confirming that the two major grading services both recognize this as a distinct variety.
