E-Auction 37 Lot 97

William II. 1087-1100. AR profile type penny. 1.61 gm. 19 mm. Winchester mint, Lifwold (Leofwold) moneyer. 1086-1089 (?). His crowned bust right, holding a sword; PILLEM REX / A cross patee with a pellet at the center, over a cross fleury; LIFPOLD ON PINC. S. 1258. N. 851. Good Very Fine; particularly well struck portrait. Overall well centered, an attractive coin with the design well set off by the toning. With an old tag in a fine hand.

Ex DNW Auction 63 (October 2004) lot 212 (£1300, $2316 plus commission).

Scarce to rare issue for this moneyer and mint: this Winchester moneyer is not noted in the first 40 volumes of the SCBI for coins other than those of William I. This must have been struck near the end of this moneyer's career.

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.
