Do you collect SC$'s?? If so have you noticed some of the eBay listings lately??

I collect So-Called Dollars, medals and other exonumia along with mainstream US coinage. One of the outlets I regularly peruse is eBay and during the past several weeks/months there have been some surprises showing up with stunning regularity, items which generally surface either at larger more specialized venues or get traded privately. Most of the time I just save them in my favorites and track the sale but that may change if the trend holds true to form very much longer. I'll post a few currently running with links for anyone interested and for the casual observer who's interested in esoteric and noteworthy medallic tributes.

There are other less noteworthy listings which are quite interesting and beg the question, why all the nice SC$'s all of a sudden??

i'm soo clueless on this area
i know my future probably will hold me getting a book on these "scd's" before including 1 or 2 in a esoteric corner of my collection
definitely a buy the book before the coin proposition with these
thanks for those links too

I thought that that area of collecting was quite soft as of late. But, then I too noticed a big
influx of new material. Perhaps it's on the rise again?

Hope so.

Wonder what the reserve is on the HK-1?

That looks like a 1826 version of buy the holder not the coin!

Whatever it was, it's been met and is at $750.00 right now.

HK-19 and HK-909 listed!

i hadn't noticed the HK-19, saw the KKK Dollar and find it so objectionable that i'm surprised eBay allows it to run. if Nazi related material is un-listable, why KKK material??

DUIGUY, If you think that holder (wood capsule) is nice, then you obviously are easy to please. FWIW, I don't believe the story given in the listing about the source of this HK-1. It looks like one that was in the inventory of a Connecticut dealer as recently as the EAC convention in May, and it wasn't a very good quality medal or capsule. All of the serious SCD collectors at the convention whom I recognized passed on it, including myself.

There's pretty much always something noteworthy going on at eBay. I'd even go so far as to say that the only time that eBay is noteworthy is when it has nothing noteworthy.

why would a dealer at the EAC convention have a SC$ such as that in his inventory at the show??

An unusual item from the Large Cent era might attract a buyer.

funny thing is that when i see Tom Reynolds at the MSNS show he has nothing but Copper in his cases, maybe he's just a true EAC guy. they're pretty hardcore, i'm surprised they allow non-copper at their convention.

The EAC conventions are now a collaborative effort of EAC and JRCS. Since the focus of JRCS members is early federal type which includes silver and gold, the inclusion of some dealers that have early exonumia is a progression. I actually sold some Morgans retail at the EAC. Richard Gross had a table at the entrance to the convention,and he is almost exclusively dealing in exonumia.

I don't see an image of the "original box" on the HK-1?

Two Wisconsin SC $1's in the original holders recently sold for $46 and $53 on eBay.

Not a good trend for this series IMO.

From what I have seen, but then again I only regularly collect two scd's; recently they have been going very strong whenever offered. Not only on eBay but in other auctions as well.

I'm always excited to see nice SCDs offered.

It would be good if PCGS started slabbing them so there could be TrueViews.
