BP - Buyer's Premium

A "Buyer's Premium" is charged in addition to the successful bid according to the rate defined in our terms and conditions.

Opening Bid

The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.

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 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. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. 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, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.

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.
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 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.

Unique Web Note Error Discovery Mismatched Suffix F-*/F-L


Fr. 1917-F $1 1988A Federal Reserve Web Note. Mismatched Suffix F-*/F-L PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ.
This may well be the ultimate web note error. It was saved by pure happenstance by a bank teller who placed the occasional odd item that came across her window in an envelope. Included in these "odd items" were a number of web notes, with the notation on the envelope that the web notes were "different." Many years later her daughter found the envelope and examined the notes to see why they were different. By the purest serendipity she noticed that the serial number on both sides of all of the notes were identical...save for one, which contained a star suffix on the left side and a letter suffix on the right side. Further research indicated that this note was printed during the F-L run, but does not bear a serial number in the star range. We can not explain how this error was created, although a number of causes have been advanced, but we do know that in the nearly two decades after the release of these notes that this is unique as a star/regular mismatch. Offered here for the first time to the collecting public, it stands as easily the most desirable web note ever to cross the auction block. Any estimate for this unique item is merely a guess, but if rarity and desirability are any guide, expect bidding to easily rise to the level of... Estimate: $15,000 - $25,000.
