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.
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.

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!
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".
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.

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!

Ohio, Newark. 1952 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar. Uncirculated, but toned on the obverse. Start $2.95 plus $1.00 shipping.

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.

When nobody bid, a Make Offer options added, and on July 31 it was sold for someone's Best Offer. Sure wish Ebay would tell us how much Best Offer items sell for.
Montana. 1964 Montana Territory Centennial $50 "Gold Slug". Un-numbered, and far nicer than the usual slightly circulated "MS-65" slabbed examples I have mentioned here many times.

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.
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.

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!
Mississippi, Laurel. 1957 Diamond Jubilee 5¢ Masonite Money. Decomposing from moisture damage around the rim, and with the gold printing beginning to flake off. Start $10.00 plus $4.00 shipping. It took two more weeks, but this scarce item sold on July 4 for the opening bid.
