I’ve  been watching a token (as well as others) and spent a few hours researching it.

I found something that made me purchase it immediately. A logo match!   This is a previously undocumented Hawaii token.

After more research, this is what was found.

1897 – Called the Dairymen’s Association

1900 – Called the Honolulu Dairymen’s Association

1915 – Term Velvet Ice Cream is used

1959 – Called the Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii

I’ve watched this medal for a few days and decided to pull the trigger for its purchase. A  quick search indicated it was an actual firm in Hawaii run by Bert Dohmen.

This is the write-up of the company. I’m still researching this medal.

Just arrived today, 12,19/2015, from the Royal Hawaiian Mint.

I recommend that you join both programs if you have not done so.

As an example, I’ve been giving this specimen some hard looks Proof gold 1 oz Princess Kaiulani

Current Price is $1,550

-Ebates 10% holiday special ($155.00)

-eBay bucks ($31.00)

If I win this auction the price will be $1364 (after refunds from both Ebates and eBay bucks).

Oh well, I have not moved on this coin since I already own the 1991 Princess Kaiulani proof gold set.

By the way, a Hawaii based dealer is offering a similiar coin for for roughtly $1000 more. Proof gold 1 oz Princess Kaiulani

Why the Princess Kaiulani interest?

I’m planning to ramp-up my writing on the Royal Hawaiian Mint issues of the Princess Kaiulani coins. This book is roughly 75% complete but was placed on hold due to the Presidential Medal of Appreciation series book release and related MoneyTalk presentation. I actually had a presentation scheduled at another coin show in late October, but had to cancel due to my father’s health. I’m looking forward in having this book released in 2016.
