DES MOINES (KWWL) -

Iowa State Treasure Michael Fitzgerald is calling Iowa's first unclaimed property eBay auction a success.  It brought in more than $6,800.

Items sold in the auction were from abandoned safe deposit boxes reported to the State Treasurer as unclaimed property.

In a statement, Fitzgerald said, "This auction was a tremendous success. We had a diamond ring that sold for $960, a roll of 1887 Morgan silver dollars that sold for $2,425 and even a 1931-S Lincoln penny that sold for $104.02. We brought in over $6,800 that we will hold for the owners of the boxes to claim at any time."

Another auction will begin online December 12th.
