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).

The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.Complete From Cent Through Trade Dollar
Closed 3 Two Cent Piece PR65 Brown. Substantial orange-red remains, although the open fields are gunmetal-blue. Boldly struck and carbon-free. A popular proof-only date with a Closed 3 mintage of 600 pieces.
Open 3 Two Cent Piece PR64 Brown. A sharply struck and mark-free near-Gem with dusky tan toning. Just 500 Open 3 proofs were struck. Population: 26 in 64 Brown, 4 finer (7/08).
Three Cent Silver PR63. An untoned example with moderate contrast between the devices and the slightly subdued fields. The upper reverse is mildly granular. A proof-only date with a mintage of just 600 pieces, all struck with a Closed 3.
Closed 3 Three Cent Nickel PR64. Ice-blue and honey-gold illuminates this suitably struck and unmarked near-Gem. A charming example in a grade that provides excellent value.
Closed 3 Shield Nickel PR65 Cameo. This nicely mirrored Gem is delicately toned in caramel-gold and steel-blue. Refreshingly free from marks or carbon. Population: 22 in 65 Cameo, 15 finer (7/08).
Half Dime PR64. Closed 3, as are all 1873 half dimes. Aquamarine and golden-brown with clean surfaces and minor inexactness of strike on the upper left portion of the wreath. The final year of the denomination, made unnecessary by the Shield nickel. Just 600 proofs were struck.
No Arrows, Closed 3 Dime PR65 Cameo. Ocean-blue and golden-brown bands hug the obverse border. The reverse is untoned aside from a couple of russet freckles. Reasonably struck with good obverse contrast. Population: 10 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (7/08).
Arrows Dime PR64 Cameo. The fields and devices are untoned, while the obverse border is navy-blue. A suitably struck near-Gem with attractive preservation. A scarce and popular two-year type with a combined proof mintage of 1,500 pieces. Population: 5 in 64 Cameo, 4 finer (5/08).
No Arrows Quarter PR64. Light gold toning visits this precisely struck and mark-free Choice proof dime. Although undesignated as Cameo, white on black contrast is perceptible. Only 600 proofs were struck. Population: 37 in 64, 18 finer (7/08).
Arrows Quarter PR64 Cameo. Peripheral rose patina encompasses the nearly brilliant fields and devices. Intricately struck and attractive. The major devices display obvious contrast. Only 540 proofs were struck for the first of only two proof Arrows issues. Population: 10 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (7/08).
No Arrows, Closed 3 Half Dollar PR64 Cameo. Blushes of pale apricot grace this exquisitely struck and undisturbed near-Gem. Only 600 proofs were struck, and quality survivors are very scarce. Population: 11 in 64 Cameo, 4 finer (7/08).
Arrows Half Dollar PR63 Cameo. A good strike with only minor blending on the eagle's left (facing) ankle. The lightly frosted devices contrast with the slightly subdued fields. Just 550 proofs were struck, and only 1,250 proofs were issued for the entire two-year subtype.
Seated Dollar PR64 Cameo. Medium apricot-gold and apple-green adorns this nicely struck near-Gem. IN GOD WE is moderately die doubled. The final date of the type, since silver dollars were replaced with the Trade dollar by the "Crime of 1873" legislation. A scant 600 proofs were struck. Population: 20 in 64 Cameo, 1 finer (7/08).
Trade Dollar PR63 Cameo. Icy motifs provide good contrast with the minimally toned and glassy fields. The strike is precise save for blending on the eagle's right (facing) leg. A lengthy, bold die line (as made) passes through the lower obverse drapery. A mere 865 proofs were issued. Population: 11 in 63 Cameo, 6 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N2998) (#2308)
