The James Joy collection of Roman Coins

“The Isles of Greece Collection” assembled by James H. Joy and thus named, was sold in May 2007 by Münzen & Medaillen , catalogued by Hans Voegtli. The collection was so significant that the sale catalog has become a standard reference for the series. James Joy has a Ph.D from George Mason University and studied in Athens,Vienna and at Oxford. He has served as an information scientist for NASA and the NSF as well as having filled different teaching posts including Howard University. His Greek Island coins were meticulously cataloged. And so also are his Roman coins. I have included his RIC numbers and added an occasional RPC number. Each coin will be sent with his tags and any information he included. This is a scholarly collection formed based on general interests and appeal. The coins are generally as found, without extensive cleaning and unsmoothed or otherwise “improved.” They are estimated conservatively and without reserve.

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.
