Kansas.  1961 Official Centennial Coin for Allen County, well-worn Fine to Very Fine condition.  Start $4.99 plus $3.50 shipping. Nobody bid so the seller made it a Buy It Now item at the same price.  It sold on June19.

 

 

6/1/21

New York, New York City.  1909 Hudson Fulton Exposition Daalder, full-size aluminum version, graded MS-64 by NGC.  Looks uncirculated to me!  Start $20.00 plus $3.00 shipping, but it sold for $281.00 after 20 bids by 10 bidders.  On the 6th of the month another one closed - it was an unslabbed About Uncirculated example and had a $12.99 plus $4.45 start.  After 9 bids by 5 bidders it sold for $47.94.

6/2/21

California, Palm Springs.  1975 Palm Springs Dollar struck in Silver, numbered 42 on the edge.  About Uncirculated.  I had been watching this item for a year or so now, hoping for a price reduction.  I don’t know what came over me, but I finally paid the $75.00 plus $12.00 Buy It Now price.  It is just my first duplicate of this piece, so it is at least a scarce issue, but I only catalog it for $25.00.  I suspect that the mintage is 100 pieces, since the one I already had in my collection was number 64 - and if more than than 100 were made, I suspect I’d have found more of them by now! It was just driving me crazy for this scarce token from a town just 20 miles away from me to be on Ebay, taunting me every single week!  

 

 

6/3/21

Colorado.  Undated Rocky Mountain Coin $5.00.  The same type I noted in December 2018, but this one numbered 008.  The start was $9.99 with FREE shipping, but after 7 bids by 5 bidders it sold for $38.98.  Wow!  I do not think I will be listing this one because I suspect it was issued by a coin shop called Rocky Mountain Coin, and was not a generally circulating “Rocky Mountain Coin”.  This one may have brought such a high price because it was touted as a “Colorado So-Called Dollar”.

 

 

6/3/21

Colorado, Fort Morgan.  1959 75th Anniversary Half Dollar.  Promoted as a “rare variant” of HK-544.  I’d say that HK-544 is a scarce variant of this much more common Municipal Token!  Start $5.99 with FREE shipping.  There were 6 bids placed by 5 bidders and it sold for $34.14.

 

 

6/3/21

Minnesota, Benson.  1970 Souvenir Dollar, Extremely Fine/About Uncirculated.  Start $9.95 plus $4.00 shipping.  No bids, so it was made a Buy It Now item at the same price.  Still available two months later.  A scarce coin, but this used one was not a very attractive example.

Nebraska, Nuckolls County.  1971 Centennial Dollar.  Antiqued silver, numbered 78 on the edge.  The start was $39.99 plus $5.00 shipping.  There were 3 bids by 3 bidders and it sold for $66.65.

6/4/21

Texas, Wilson County / Kansas Statehood Mule.  1960/1961 Half Dollar.  A rare one!  I was the only bidder at the $4.00 plus $1.00 start.  Cool!

 

 

6/4/21

Virginia, Norton.  1969 75th Anniversary Half Dollar.  A few moderate carbon spots on the reverse.  I was the only bidder at the $8.95 plus $4.95 starting price.  Perhaps a bit too much to pay, but these don’t show up very often, and if you want them you’ve got to jump on them when they do!

 

 

6/5/21

Montana, Fort Benton.  1971 125th Anniversary Dollar.  Start $5.00 with FREE shipping.  No bids.  Not relisted.

 

 

6/5/21

6/6/21

Alabama, Montgomery.  1961 Civil War Centennial Half Dollar.  Start $1.99 plus $3.70 shipping.  There were no bids until the last few hours of the sale when someone bid $6.00 only to be topped a short time later by another bidder at $6.50.

 

 

6/6/21

Illinois, Evergreen Park.  1968 75th Anniversary Half Dollar.  Encapsulated and graded MS-66 by NGC.  Sold to a single bidder for the $20.00 plus $2.99 start.  Whoever bought it now has the exact same specimen for sale for $44.99 with FREE shipping.  Ebay offered that in their display of “Sponsored Items”, along with a couple others not encapsulated, but available for $16.00 plus $2.00, and $12.95 plus $3.00.  A search in Ebay for Evergreen Park 1968 brought up 16 other unencapsulated examples, All BIN items, priced from $4.45 to $16.00.  Must be a rare one.  Hah!

6/7/21

Half Dollar, the 1960/61 South Dakota Territorial Centennial Half Dollar, and a good luck token from the "1880 Town" in South Dakota.  Start was $9.95 plus $4.25 shipping, but there were no bids, and it was listed until June 29 when the seller ended the sale because “the item is no longer available”.  I wish I had paid more attention because this was the scarcer golden brass version that catalogs for $10.00, and has not appeared previously in these listings.

 

 

6/7/21

Oregon, Grants Pass.  1959 Oregon Centennial Half Dollar, variesty with Expiry date removed.  Extremely Fine.  Start 69¢ plus 69¢ for postage.  After 4 bids by 2 bidders it sold for $3.34.  No mention was made that this was the date removed - in fact it was simply described “World Token Oregon 1859-1959”.

6/13/21

Arizona, Prescott.  Undated Slippery Gulch 5¢ token, this one numbered 120, a machine number I did not have.  Start $4.99 plus $3.00 shipping.  I won it for $7.00 after 4 bids by 4 bidders.  The seller cited Newhall, California or Cokedale, Colorado as issuing locations - because tokencatalog.com notes those locations.  I use Prescott, Arizona because they have been listed as being from there in the Arizona token catalogs by Birt, and later by Spooner, for decades.

6/19/21

Colorado, Sterling.  1959 Diamond Jubilee Half Dollar.  About Uncirculated.  Start $4.89 plus $3.89 shipping.  Someone must have really wanted it because he placed 3 bids, but since no one else bid, only the first was needed to win the item.

 

 

6/19/21

Iowa, Goldfield.  1955 Centennial Quarter, About Uncirculated.  Startv $7.98 plus $1.78 shipping.  I won it for $8.48 as just the second bidder.  A pretty good deal - this is the first of these I’ve spotted on Ebay since January 2013….However just 4 days later another appeared - this one in Extremely Fine condition with a $9.99 plus $5.00 start.  Nobody bid and the seller decided not to relist it.

 

 

6/19/21

Washington, Hoquiam.  1939 50th Anniversary Paul Bunyan’s Twp-Bits Quarter.  A bit faded, and with a couple little chips missing from the edge. Large 3 inch wooden quarter printed on plywood.

6/20/21

Florida, Dunedin.  Pair of undated Island Fest Dollars.  Spotty Uncirculated.  I was the only bidder for the $1.00 plus $4.45 start. These are new to me - for the time being I will plan on listing them…however if this turns out to be a just a music event of some sort which required payment to attend, I will probably not do so.  A quick google search did not give me any information about this festival, but apparently Dunedin has a lot of such events!
