E-Auction 21 Lot 5

ANGLO GALLIC. Henry VI. 1422-1453. AV salut d'or. 3.43 gm. 27 mm. Leopard mm. Rouen. Shields of France (left) and England (right) side by side, the Virgin and an angel (Gabriel) behind; pellet stops / Cross within a tressure; mullet stops. S. 8164. Elias 270C. W&F 386F. Near Extremely Fine; fresh surfaces, slight waviness, slight edge splits at 5 and 11 (obv); attractive.

Only son and heir of Henry V of England and grandson and heir of Charles VI of France, Henry VI became king at nine months of age, and created havoc during his reign due to his youth and mental deficiencies. He precipitated the "War of the Roses" and mismanaged the Hundred Years War with France, which was also invigorated by Joan of Arc. The salut d'or, minted in French territory while still under English control, shows medieval religious imagery in the Annunciation on the obverse (the nimbate Virgin Mary is handed a tablet inscribed AVE by the Archangel Gabriel) and the cross on the reverse, flanked by the respective symbols of England and France, the fleur de lis and the leopard passant. This coin is a fascinating historical relic of a tumultuous time.

How Bidding Works

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.
