Printed Auction 44 Lot 144

Electrotype of English hammered coinage. Aethelred I. King of Wessex. 865-871. Penny electrotype (double-thick). 21 mm. Type i. Biarmond, moneyer. Diademed bust right; +EDELREDR—EX / BIARNMO across center; DMO in lunette above; NETΛ in lunette below. BMC II (1893) p. 28:3. S.1055. (584 in earlier edition). As made.

This is an electrotype copy of a hammered English coin in the British Museum. Each piece is identified in one of the BMC catalogs published in 1887 and 1893 and, occasionally, in the more recent SCBI volumes of British Museum Anglo Saxon coins (SCBI 63 and 67, published 2013 and 2016). Photographs of some were used in the Seaby publication, Standard Catalog of British Coins Part 1 first published in 1962. The images remained in the annual Seaby publications until 2007 when the Standard Catalog began publishing images in color. Unlike copies of BMC ancient coins that were made in quantity, the Anglo-Saxon pieces were apparently made with no intention of making them publicly available and they seldom appear in the market.

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.
