Printed Auction 36 Lot 447

Wingate, James. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE COINAGE OF SCOTLAND. Glasgow. 1868. Folio. 146 pages of historical and numismatic text. 44 engraved plates of Scottish coins plus four supplementary plates; gold coins and base coins hand colored. Green buckram binding with Wingate's arms embossed on the front. Binding and contents fresh and fine; there is a piece of book tape at the spine between the title page and the dedication page.

A work of love of Scottish numismatics by a committed "amateur" in the European sense of the term, this large format volume has meticulously prepared line engravings of Scottish coins, detailed listings and historic background. It was prepared to expand on Lindsay, the key reference at the time. (Burns, the standard reference, was published in 1887.) Publication was limited to 150 copies. This is a worthwhile volume for anyone interested in the Sottish series. (I will make use of it in the Scottish numismatics section of the course I will be coteaching at the ANA Summer Seminar in 2017. AD)

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.
