1/14/18
Arizona, Tombstone “1879” Helldorado Souvenir Dollar. Copper variety. I have not listed this common piece in a long time, but this one brought such a high price it caught my eye. The start was $9.99 plus $3.50. After 4 bids by 3 bidders, it brought a very high $43.00. I guess it helped that the seller called it an unlisted So-Called Dollar - which it is not.
1/14/18

1/15/18
Antarctica, Little America. 2014 South Polar Breakthrough. Unknown mintage. Not previously listed. Again I was the only bidder at the $12.50 plus $3.50 start. I am not sure I will be listing this one, which the seller described as being struck in Copper Nickel, because it dosen’t seem to commemorate anything.

Then the start was reduced to $3.99 and the postage cut to $1.50. I did not have this date, and I won it as the only bidder on February 23. I am probably not going to list these Bronco Bucks. Ebay suggested 4 more of these, dated 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981, each in a different lot - Each one was priced at either $4.25 plus $2.55 or $5.00 plus $3.95. I was not tempted. In fact, I think I paid too much for this one! Modern sport schedule tokens like these probably shouldn’t cost over a buck apiece. A fool and his money….

Diameter 40mm instead of the normal 38mm. No doubt a trial strike for this issue, and probably not listable. The token was in slightly circulated condition with a few dark spots on either side.

Kansas. 1941 Coronado’s 400th Anniversary Nickel, struck in nickel-silver. Uncirculated condition - which is not unusual for this issue. Start $19.55 plus $2.90. After the first week it was made a Buy It Now item at the same price and it lasted until March 19 when the seller ended the listing “brcause the item is no longer available”. In the part of the listing where Ebay gives you “More chances to get what you want” another example, also uncirculated (but with a couple minor spots), was offered for a start of $1.99 plus $1.00 shipping. Still awaiting a bid, with the current listing ending March 29.
