Aftersale 31 Lot 413

A pair of 18th century publications.

Pegge, S. A Series of Dissertations on some Elegant and very Valuable Anglo-Saxon Remains. London. 1756. Forty-two pages plus and 11 page Preface "Wherein the Queftion, Whether the Saxons coined any gold or not, is candidly debated…" Four copper-plate engravings of individual coins. Also, author not indicated, A Catalogue of the Coins of Canute, King of Denmark and England, with Specimens. London. 1772. Twenty-three pages plus a fold-out sheet showing 42 reverses of Cnut issues (20 different mints) and examples of 5 obverse types. The text discusses the issues and lists the moneyers and mints for the illustrated pieces. Both articles have been removed from a larger volume. The first has a sewn edge, the second is held together by edge glue. The contents are Good to Very Good and there is a minimum of foxing. The sheets are intact though there are minor folds and tears on a couple of the end sheets.

How Bidding Works

Davissons Ltd uses a soft close for its auctions, which means no lot closes until everyone is done bidding. Every time a bid is placed within the final 40 seconds of a lot closing, the timer is reset to 40 seconds. This continues until no bids are placed for 40 seconds, at which point the lot closes. There will never be more than one lot closing at once, as the next lot is not allowed to begin closing until the current lot closes.

To bid: enter your maximum bid into the text box, and click submit. Only round dollar amounts are accepted. You are then required to confirm your bid. Once confirmed, all bids are final. If you have placed a bid in error you must call during office hours and speak to one of us. If you are the current high bidder then it will display “Current High Bidder: YOU” If you are not the high bidder, or if you are not logged in, then the current high bidder will be identified by their 5 digit client ID. You may find your client ID under the Account tab.

Bids are reduced automatically, so feel free to bid your maximum and it will be reduced to one increment over the current high bid. If a user places a bid that is higher than necessary to be the current high bidder on the lot, the displayed bid will reflect one advance over the next lower bid. For example, if a user "A" places a bid of $120 on a lot which opens at $100, "A" will be winning that lot at $100. If another user "B" bids $110, the winning bidder will be "A" at $120, one advance over the supporting bid of $110. If user "B" in this example instead placed a bid at $120, then user "A" will still be winning at $120 because they placed that maximum bid value first.

Increments can be viewed here. The next bid will always be on the next increment, so if a user is winning a lot at $100, or $105, or $109, the next bid will still always be $110.
