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.

Saxony. A Possibly Unique 1763 Third Silesian War Commemorative Cross

A likely one-of-a-kind wearable cross to commemorate peace declared on February 15th, 1763 between Austria, Prussia, and Saxony. It consists of two pieces; a bronze frame and a white enamel core; the obverse is inscribed “Es blühet unser Glück durch Friedrichs weise That” (German - May our luck blossom through Friedrich’s wise deeds), with “Hubertburg” within a green laurel wreath; the reverse inscribed “Weil er zu Hubertsburg uns Ruh gestiftet hat” (German - Because he bestowed peace among us at Hubertsburg”, with the “15er Febr. 1763” within a green laurel wreath; with an integrated loop on the 12 o’clock arm; measuring 29.50 mm (w) x 30.63 mm (h); weighing 9.9 grams; with moderate oxidation on the frame from age giving it a greenish hue, as well as a moderate chip in the enamels on the reverse and hairline cracks; in as found condition.

Footnote: This is the only known example of a 1763 Commemorative Cross awarded to participants of the Treaty of Hubertsburg, ending the Third Selisian War between Austria, Prussia, and Saxony, which, together with the Treaty of Paris signed five days earlier, marked the end of the Seven Years’ War.
