Welcome to E-Auction 11!

Closing July 22nd, 2015 starting at 10 A.M. CDT. Place your bids here on our website, or via email, mail, phone, or fax!

This sale has 100 lots of attractive and affordable coins and tokens, from Greece and Rome to Great Britain and the world.

Of special interest is lot 20, a scarce and attractive Roman Republican aes grave. Recent legislation means this type of coin can no longer be imported in to the US, so this handsome example may be one of the last few we ever have available.

Following the Greek section, the Roman section contains a selection of unusual and interesting provincial coins, along with a large run of coins of the Augustas, from Sabina to Aelia Flaccilla.

The British section includes a rare 'Hamwic' type sceat, along with pennies of Harold I and Edward the Confessor, all the way up to a few Irish Free State coins at the end.

The sale closes with some high grade tokens, a few world coins, and a smattering of US commemorative half dollars.

If you have any questions about the sale or our website, or would like to hear how beautiful Minnesota is in summer, just give us a call! We can be reached at (320) 685-3835.

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.
