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.
Opening Bid:
Lots bearing estimates and without Consignor Reserve shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (usually 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

By far the greatest note to emerge from the Platte River Cash Hoard, and a reminder that significant rarities are still awaiting discovery even a century after their issue. A mere fourteen Red Seals have been reported from all banks in the state combined, with the Nixon NB accounting for five of that total, with the distribution three tens, two twenties, and a single hundred. The Kelly census reports the grades of the two twenties as "Good-Very Good" and "Very Good" respectively, making this new to the census and far superior specimen even more significant. This note bears the signature of one of Nevada's legendary early bankers, George S. Nixon, who signs as President. Nixon started his banking career in Winnemucca, where he and his associate F.M. Lee (who signs this note as the bank's Cashier) organized the First National Bank in 1886. Nixon served as President of that bank until 1906, when he moved to Reno and founded the Nixon NB, serving as President of that institution until his death in 1912. Along the way he found time to enter into a partnership with George Wingfield (who later served as President of this bank, which was renamed the Reno NB in 1915) in several mining ventures as well as serving a one of Nevada's two United States Senators from his election in 1905 until his passing in 1912.
All of the known Nevada Red Seals have been closely held for many years, with Track & Price showing no offerings of any such example at public sale during the past fifteen years. This piece, which displays a sharp red overprint and comes in a comment free PCGS Very Fine 20 holder, offers a rare opportunity which has not been available to even the most advanced of collectors in well over a decade. It would not surprise us at all if this wonderful new discovery, which is by far the finest of the now three extant $20 Red Seals from the entire state, easily reaches the six figure level before the hammer falls this evening.
