What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Buyer's Premium

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

Belgium, Kingdom. A Ypres and Yser Campaign Table Medal, c.1920

In bronze, obverse illustrating a helmeted soldier holding a rifle in his hands at the waist, amidst the shattered remains of the town of Ypres, inscribed "YPRES" above and "MCMXVIII" (1918) below, engraver's mark at the left side, reverse illustrating a bearded Greek-like figure pouring water out from a chalice, with two cap wearing soldiers on either side, with bull rushes in the background, designer marked "CH. SAMUEL" (Charles Samuel) beside the left foot of the Greek-like figure, inscribed "YSER" over "MCMXIV" (1914) below, measuring 70 mm in diameter, spotting evident on the reverse, near extremely fine.

Footnote: Charles Samuel (1862-1939) was a Belgian medallist and sculptor, a native of Brussels who studied under the medallist Charles Wiener. He was chiefly successful as a sculptor, and examples of his work are widespread in Brussels, but he presented medals at a number of international exhibitions.
