E-Auction 19 Lot 106

George V. 1910-1936. Æ penny. 9.51 gm. 30 mm. King's Norton Metal Company (Birmingham). 1919 KN. His bare headed bust left; GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP around / Britannia seated right; ONE — PENNY around; 1919 below with a small KN to the left. S. 4053 (£1000 in EF). Peck 2257. Freeman 187 (R2). Brown and red; choice; well struck portrait; clear reverse; a faint rub away from being fully Uncirculated. A significant rarity in the George V penny series; very seldom offered, particularly so choice.

The Frank Robinson Collection.

The 1918H and 1919H and the 1918 KN and 1919KN pennies show a faint outline of the obverse portrait in the reverse field. The result, in addition to the effect on the field, is loss of detail on Britannia. What happened? This seems a design characteristic of this issue—the portrait requires more metal to fill the die and the reverse suffers. London issues of this type show the same characteristic.

How Bidding Works

How Bidding Works

Davissons Ltd uses a soft close for its auctions, which means no lot closes until everyone is done bidding. Every time a bid is placed within the final 40 seconds of a lot closing, the timer is reset to 40 seconds. This continues until no bids are placed for 40 seconds, at which point the lot closes. There will never be more than one lot closing at once, as the next lot is not allowed to begin closing until the current lot closes.

To bid: enter your maximum bid into the text box, and click submit. Only round dollar amounts are accepted. You are then required to confirm your bid. Once confirmed, all bids are final. If you have placed a bid in error you must call during office hours and speak to one of us. If you are the current high bidder then it will display “Current High Bidder: YOU” If you are not the high bidder, or if you are not logged in, then the current high bidder will be identified by their 5 digit client ID. You may find your client ID under the Account tab.

Bids are reduced automatically, so feel free to bid your maximum and it will be reduced to one increment over the current high bid. If a user places a bid that is higher than necessary to be the current high bidder on the lot, the displayed bid will reflect one advance over the next lower bid. For example, if a user "A" places a bid of $120 on a lot which opens at $100, "A" will be winning that lot at $100. If another user "B" bids $110, the winning bidder will be "A" at $120, one advance over the supporting bid of $110. If user "B" in this example instead placed a bid at $120, then user "A" will still be winning at $120 because they placed that maximum bid value first.

Increments can be viewed here. The next bid will always be on the next increment, so if a user is winning a lot at $100, or $105, or $109, the next bid will still always be $110.
