Printed Auction 33 Lot 262

Buckinghamshire 3 (Scarce). Aylsbury. Æ halfpenny. 9.68 gm. 27 mm. Justice seated, a scale in her outstretched left hand and a sword in her right hand; AYLSBURY * HALF * PENNY * around / Shield of arms; BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 1796 around. Plain edge. Choice Extremely Fine; rich brown tone.

There are tokens in this section that are seldom to almost never seen. They came from a purchase I made in London in September. I felt extremely fortunate to be able to handle this group. Many of them date back to the grand collection formed by Cokayne, a collection of such depth and breadth that it will probably never be equaled. The section includes at least one identifiable plate coin from D&H and a dramatic lighthouse token that Cokayne had with a Davis and a Murdoch pedigree. The Mendoza piece in copper is only the second known in this metal. Though 19th Century tokens are less popular than the Dalton and Hamer series, some of them are dramatic enough on their own to warrant a place in a serious token collection; there are two such pieces here. The Davis and Waters issues often could have been included in D&H but were overlooked or passed over for some reason. The D&H criteria for inclusion is worth a research effort because of the range of things they accepted and omitted. Anyhow, the Davis and Waters pieces offered here are extremely rare, so much so that the definitive collection of this series by Montague Guest did not include them.

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.
