E-Auction 51 Lot 309

UNITED STATES. $5 Silver Certificate. Serial # N29828353. Plate A14/1. Series of 1899. Signers: Speelman, White. *Sioux Chief Running Antelope, the only time the image of a Native American was used as a central figure on a piece of American currency. Friedberg 281. PCGS VF25; fresh, bright and attractive; a light crease visible on the center running across the note; upper right corner, reverse view, shows fold, now straightened; other corners—slight fraying.

*A Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux, he was photographed in Washington after a meeting with President Ulysses S. Grant. This photograph was used for the engraving of this 1899 issue. The photograph shows the traditional war bonnet of the Sioux but the feathers took up too much space so the engraver substituted a Pawnee headdress. The Pawnee and the Sioux were enemies and this design stands as an insensitive historic error. (From June 2025 COIN NEWS)

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.
