7/6/15

North Dakota, Rolla.  1988 Centennial $2.00.  Unknown mintage.  Catalog value $4.00.  Opening bid was $5.99 plus $3.00 shipping.  There were no bids this week, and the following week produced the same result again.  The opening was lowered to just 99¢ plus $3.00.  After two additional weeks at this price, the seller made the token a Buy It Now item in his store for $1.99 +$3.00.  It is still there as of late September.

 

 

7/7/15

Washington,Blaine.  1933 Peace Arch Wooden 50¢.  Variety with hand written number.  These “Depression Script” Peace arch coins, which come in several varieties and denominations, do not seem to commemorate any particular event so I will not be listing them.  This one started at just 1¢ plus $2.00 shipping, and sold for $10.50 after 5 bids.

7/9/15

Washington, Olympia.  1933 Old Ironsides Visit Oyster Money Wooden Quarter.  The start was just a penny plus $2.00 shipping. After 10 bids it sold for an impressive $95.00.  The high price is due to its scarcity, plus it is avidly collected by Washington Token collectors, Wooden Money collectors, Depression Script collectors and the unusual oyster shape attracts a lot of interest because of its uniqueness.
