Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the Current Bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a Cut Bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment.Internet bids are required only to bid the increment past the Current Bid, or more. Internet bids greater than one increment over the Current Bid can be any whole dollar amount.
It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments. It is also possible for an existing bid to be outbid by less than a full increment, sometimes by only $1. This usually happens when two bidders feel that a lot is worth about the same amount, but one places an off-increment bid. Generally when this happens, the Current Bid was much lower than the high secret maximum bid when the off-increment bidder placed his bid.
For example: On Tuesday, you bid $1500 against Bidder A's Maximum Bid of $1000, raising Current Bid to $1100. Then on Thursday, Bidder B, seeing a Current Bid of $1100, guesses the final price and decides to bid $1501, outbidding your Maximum Bid by $1. You would now have to bid $1600 through Heritage Internet bidding or $1550 on Heritage Live (if available for the auction) to possibly win that lot. Next time, maybe you'll bid $1502 and outbid Bidder B by $1!
Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions. At that point, any unmet Reserve will become both the price shown (with an asterisk) and the Minimum Next Bid, regardless of any previous bids.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Ex: Kaufman
Cameo NGC. Ex: P. Kaufman. Although the surviving population of
proof 1850 silver dollars is higher than earlier years, it is an
extremely rare issue with cameo contrast. Phil Kaufman's proof 1850
dollar is the finest of about 20 proofs known, the only Premium Gem
that carries NGC's Star Designation. It is also identified as a
Cameo proof, one of just two pieces so designated.The Kaufman coin is the variety with the open 5 in the date, which also has the base of the 0 double punched, and die file marks at the rim below 50. Bowers indicates that other Open 5 specimens include the Garrett Collection coin (now in the American Numismatic Society Collection) and the Floyd T. Starr Collection piece. A later die state of the Open 5 variety displays a heavy crack through the base of the date.
Bowers recognizes a second variety of the 1850 proof dollar--the closed 5 that lacks repunching at the base of 0 in 1850. The reverse exhibits die file marks filling most of the shield interstices. Two arrows are joined, and faint die cracks are usually seen through ON of ONE and TED of UNITED. Bowers notes that the Byron Reed 1850 proof dollar is of this variety.
Following is a roster of 1850 proof dollars based on a comprehensive review of available plated auction catalogs:
1. PR66 * Cameo. The Kaufman coin, which does not appear to match any of the specimens listed below.

Additional Appearances:
A. Proof. Stack's (5/1992), lot 2710. Not plated.
B. Proof. Frederick Geiss (B. Max Mehl, 2/1947), lot 345. Not plated, possibly to Carter.
C. Proof. Byron Reed; Omaha City Library. Lot 378 in the Christies sale of items from The Bryon Reed Collection is an 1850 silver dollar described as deeply toned with prooflike surfaces. It is likely the coin that Breen mentioned in his Proof Encyclopedia.
D. We are also aware of 10 or so other 1850 proof dollar appearances in catalogs that are not accessible to us, or are not plated.
Majestic untoned surfaces on this Premium Gem yield a stunning white-on-black appearance that jumps out at the observer. A complete strike shows full delineation on all points of the design elements, which further accents the incredible field-to-device contrast. Die polish lines are located in the fields, particularly on the obverse, where they are heavy. A minute mark on Liberty's right (left facing) wrist and a minuscule spot on the thigh to the upper right of the shield may aid in the identification of this coin for future catalogers. An incredibly captivating Cameo that is sure to capture the attention of proof Seated Liberty aficionados.(Registry values: P2) (#86991)
