Welcome to Cupboard Sale 1 - a value sale

Welcome to the inaugural “Davissons Ltd. Cupboard Sale” featuring interesting, collectible coins, tokens, medals, and books, all estimated at or below $100.

Throughout many years of doing business, we have held on to significant coins from old collections, auction purchases, unsold consignments, and more. With relatively low values, they have not been economically practical to include in our larger sales.

Yet these lower cost coins can be important parts of a collection. All coins in this sale qualify as worthwhile. The term “Cupboard” accurately reflects where many of them have been for the last while.

We have also pulled from choice, previously offered better material that for one reason or another did not sell in our auctions, so we offer it here at lower estimates.

We have been careful to select only desirable pieces and have estimated every lot conservatively. The sale starts with an interesting group of Ancient Greek & Roman coins, and progresses through English Hammered and Milled coins, British Trade Tokens, World Crowns, US type, some Americana with satirical and libertarian messages, a group of carefully engraved “love tokens” on 19th century coins, and a couple of medals.

We hope you enjoy bidding in our new category of “value auction” – and pick up some fascinating and accessible bits of history!

 

Regards,

Allan, Marnie, & Lief Davisson

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.
