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.

Iraq, Kingdom. Commemorative Medal of the Coronation of King Faisal II 1953

In bronze, engraver marked "HUGUENIN" (Huguenin Frères of Le Locle, Switzerland) on the obverse, measuring 32.3 mm in diameter, very light contact, original ribbon with safety pin attachment, near extremely fine.

Footnote: The medal was produced both by the Royal Mint in London and by Huguenin Frères of Le Locle, Switzerland with small variations. King Faisal II (1935-1958) was the last king of Iraq, reigning from 1939 until his death in a coup d’état in 1958. He was less than four years old when his father died in 1939 and his father’s cousin, Crown Prince Abd al-Ilāh, ruled as Regent until Faisal’s coming of age in 1953.
