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).

Each Coin PCGS Certified
A fabulous, complete, high grade, ten-piece proof set and a date that is rarely seen as a complete set. Each coin is certified by PCGS. The set includes:
Indian Cent PR65 Red. A wonderfully bright coin with light red color. The obverse fields show a bit of orange-peel texture. The reverse is slightly hazy, but this does not affect the original red luster or attractiveness of this early small cent.
Two Cent Piece PR65 Red. Similar in overall color to the Indian cent. Each side is bright reddish-orange color. The fields display remarkable depth of reflectivity that can only be seen on original, untampered copper coins. The devices show a slight accent of mint frost that give the coin an ever-so-slight contrasted appearance.
Three Cent Silver PR64. Richly toned in variegated, dappled shades of rose, sea-green, and blue with strong, underlying proof mirrors on each side. A wonderfully attractive example.
Three Cent Nickel PR64. A moderately reflective example with slightly hazy surfaces. Slight light blue and pale reddish patina can be made out when closely examined, but at first glance the coin appears brilliant. An affordable example of this low mintage issue.
Shield Nickel With Rays PR65. A lovely, upper-end proof striking of this popular, first-year issue. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices display noticeable contrasting mint frost, but not quite enough for a Cameo designation. The devices are fully struck, a feature that is generally only seen on proofs of this date. Basically brilliant, there is just the slightest hint of oil-slick iridescence on each side.
Half Dime PR66. The obverse is toned similarly to the three cent silver with speckled, multicolored shadings. The reverse is predominately blue with an arc of golden at the bottom of that side. Technically and visually appealing, this high grade piece shows no noticeable contact marks.
Dime PR65. Once again, a similar toning pattern is seen on this piece. Speckled iridescence on the obverse with a reverse that shows rich blue and violet shades. A few light hairlines are seen on the obverse; otherwise, the surfaces appear perfect.
Quarter PR65. The consistency of the obverse/reverse toning on these pieces draws one to the conclusion that is an original set. A put-together set would show more variability in the toning due to differing environmental conditions. Speckled multicolored toning on the obverse is once again paired with a deep blue reverse. The deep mirrors in the fields backlight and enhance the rich tonal qualities. There are no obvious defects on either side of this lovely, original proof striking.
Half Dollar PR65. Once again, the obverse displays spectacular multicolored, dappled toning that is paired with a reverse that shows cobalt-blue and rose toning. Close examination reveals a few light hairlines, but a loupe is necessary. Exceptional eye appeal.
Seated Dollar PR66. An interestingly toned dollar and distinctly different from the other silver coins in the set. Each side has a plethora of colors but light gray is the dominant hue. The central device of Liberty has a deeper gray splotch of toning, and the lower reverse is bright blue. The fields are brightly mirrored and bring out the many colors on this Premium Gem. Technically defect-free as well as visually appealing.(Registry values: N4719) (#7020)
