    A42, Lot 235:

    Electrotype of English hammered coinage. Kings of Mercia. Offa. 757-796. Penny electrotype. 17 mm. The BMC coin weighs 19.5 grains. First series. His bust right, curled hair; OFFA REX / Cruciform pattern; +A Λ R E∂ in extensions from the central compartment which contains a small cross; floral elements between the limbs. BMC Vol I:9. Plate V:3 (this piece illustrated). Also, plate coin for Standard Catalog editions from 1962 until 2007. S. 454 (1962-1977). S. 905 (current). As made.

     

    Electrotypes of Anglo-Saxon and English coins in the British Museum (joined into a double thick single piece). Many were used for the Standard Catalog prior to 2007.

     

    These double-thick electrotypes of British Museum Anglo-Saxon and English hammered coins are direct copies of pieces in the British Museum and can be seen in the plates of the the two BMC volumes issued in 1887 and 1893: Keary & Poole, A Catalogue of English Coins in the British Museum, Anglo-Saxon Series Volume I, and Grueber & Keary, A Catalogue of English Coins in the British Museum, Anglo-Saxon Series Volume II.

     

    These copies were used for the production of the reference that has become the standard for English coins, the Spink Standard Catalog. (Prior to 1998 the publication was known as the Seaby Standard Catalog.) Many of the pieces offered here are the pieces photographed for the annual catalogs from the small format 1962 edition until the major revision in the 42nd edition in 2007, when the catalog changed from black and white to color.

     

    Prior to the larger size publications that began with the much expanded and renumbered 16th edition in 1978, the earlier editions beginning in 1962 were smaller 5 by 7 ½ inch books. Earlier still, prior to 1962 the publications were larger and thinner with drawings rather than photographs illustrating the coins.)

     

    The electros are apparently extremely rare if not generally unique. I have seen a very few examples of other types in this format being offered but never a duplication of any offered here. (AD)

    A42, Lot 381:

    RUSSIA. A collection of "wire money" (33 pieces). 1425-1717. If you browse through the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins 1601-1700 looking for Russian coins, rather than seeing Russian issues that match the thaler, taler, daalder coinage then circulating in Europe you will see some of the same European issues with Russian countermarks. Russian coinage matching the European model first appears at the beginning of the 18th century issued under Peter the Great (1682-1725).

    It was Peter the Great who worked to bring Russia into the economic and social—and military, as well—European world of the time. In the 14th century barter was gradually replaced by a metallic currency that imitated the Tatar Mongols of the Golden Horde. Silver in the form of wire was cut and then hammered flat with obverse and reverse dies.

    “Wire money” has a characteristic look—elongated with design off the edges of the narrower portion of the piece. The opening piece in this lot, a denga of Boris Alexandrovich (reign of Vasily II of Moscow, 1425-1461) demonstrates how a piece struck from silver in the form of wire looks when it is well and fully struck.

    This collection covers that period from 1425 until 1717 when these pieces were made. They have all been thoroughly cataloged and valued by Alex Basok, a recognized expert on Russian coinage. They represent a significant sampling of Russia’s political structure during that era—free cities, rulers, regents…

     

    The entire four page description of the collection prepared by Alex Basok is available on request. A copy of it will also be included with the lot itself.

     

    •Grand Duchy of Tver. Boris Alexandrovich (1689-1725). *Denga (31). A warrior with a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. (ПЕУАТ) КНАZBЛКОГО(Б) around / Reverse legend in 4 lines in a rope circle. SP 62.12 (var). Or 168 (II-78)

     

    •Free City of Novgorod. Three different dengas with estimates ranging from $175 to $250 (1, 2, 3). *Denga. (2) Seated figure of a ruler and kneeling servant, Д between them at top, legend on reverse. Similar to Sp. 66.1 and 2. “This coin has full depiction of both dies on it and has neat almost round planchet.” ($250)

     

    •Free City of Pskov. *Denga. (4) Crowned facing bust of a man holding a sword in his right hand, Д to the right. Sp. 66.9 or similar to 65 (I-20). “Good overall with full reverse legend and most of the important element of obverse on it.” ($250)

     

    •Grand Duchy of Moscow. Vasily Vasilyevich the Blind (1425-1462). Two different dengas (5 and 6).*Denga. (5) Horseman right spearing the head of a dragon, two pearls in front, one behind/ Man’s head to the right. Sp. 57.11. “Somewhat common coin but all important details are very clear.” ($150)

     

    •Ivan III (1462-1505).*Denga. (9) Horseman with raised sabre galloping right, letter C underneath. SP. 75.23. “The letter C under the horse is very clear and that is the only redeeming quality of that coin…” Double striking on the reverse ($75)

     

    •Vasily Ivanovich (1505-1533). *Denga (10) of Pskov after subjugation to Moscow in 1510. Horse with raised sabre to right, Ж below. SP 66.16. “…the letter under the horse…combined with the moneyer’s name Zamania on the reverse makes attribution absolutely certain. There are only 3 moneyer’s names in all history of Russian hammered coinage…” ($250)

     

    •Ivan IV the Terrible (1533-1584). Three different kopeks, two of Novogord and one of Pskov. (7, 8, 9) (Alex’s estimates total $90)

    •Feodor Borisovich Godunov (1605). *Kopek of Moscow mint. (16) Knight on horseback right, MO below. K/G 236 (RVIII), Meln 7/4. “Very nice and almost full legend, coin aesthetically very pleasant and scarce. As nice sample as anyone can find.” ($250)

     

    •Dmitry Ioanovich (False Dimitry) (1605-1606). Kopeks of Novgorod Mint. K/G 247 (RIX). Meln D4-1/1N. (17, 19, 23. $140 total estimates.)

    *Kopek of Moscow Mint. (18) Knight on horseback right. MO under the horse. K/G 189 (RVIII). Meln 3-8/2MO. “This coin has all there is to have and in nice condition as well.” ($150)

     

    •Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky (1606-1610). Kopek of Pskov mint. (22) ПС under the horse. K/G 249. Meln V4-1/1M. ($75)

    Kopek of Moscow mint. (24). K/G 249. Meln V4-1/1m. ($75)

     

    •Mikhail Feodorovich Romanov (1613-1645). Three different kopeks that vary in attributability but are recognizable, common and of limited value (26. 28, 29)

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.
