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.

A French Egyptian Institute (Institut d'Egypte) Medal

A French Egyptian Institute (Institut d'Egypte) Medal - Silver, cornucopia hallmarked and marked "ARGENT" (silver) on the edge, 37.5 mm, silver star on the original ribbon, extremely fine. Footnote: The Institut d'Egypte was a learned academy formed by Naopleon Bonaparte, to carry out research during his Egyptian campaign. It first met on August 24, 1798, with Gaspard Monge as president, Bonaparte himself as vice-president, Joseph Fourier and Costaz as secretaries and forty-eight scholars. The Institut capitalized on the work of scholars and technical experts of the Commission des Sciences et des Arts and fostered the development of Egypt, so as to support the French Expeditionary Force. It lasted until its forty-seventh and final meeting, on March 21, 1801.
