An 1880 bank note from the Kingdom of Hawaii sold for $268,000 on Thursday in an auction of coins, medals and bills from the estate of Samuel Mills Damon, a banker whose father settled in Hawaii as a missionary.
The note _ the first $10 bill issued by the kingdom _ far exceeded its pre-sale estimate of between $20,000 and $40,000, said Doyle New York, the auctioneer and appraiser that handled the sale.
