Estate Sale - Dutch Auction

Up for auction are very collectible and harder to get German/Nazi 1 Reichspfennig zinc coins from 1940 - 1944.   In 1939 Hitler Succeeded by putting Poland under the swastika, and thus precipitated WW2. With war came many changes, the production of Nazi coins being just one.  WW2 coincided with German mints ceasing production altogether of the silver Reichsmark Nazi coins. Further, all Reichspfennig Nazi coins were now produced in cheaper zinc. Production of silver Reichsmark Nazi coins may have ceased with the start of WW2 but the swastika clearly remained, emblazoned on millions of zinc Reichspfennig Nazi coins.

More Detailed History: The Third Reich started issuing clearly identifiable "Nazi" coins (ie with swastika) from 1936. Although the Nazi's were in power from 1933, the designs for the smaller denomination coinage were simply a continuation of "Weimarer Republik" designs. It was only from 1936 that the smaller denomination Third Reich coins had the Nazi Reichsadler and Hakenkreuz (swastika) incorporated into the coin's design. Prior to 1940, small denomination coins were minted from "superior" metals ie copper (1 & 2 Reichspfennig), Copper/Aluminum Alloy (5 & 10 Reichspfennig), and depending upon the year either Nickel or Aluminum (50 Reichspfennig). Things radically changed after the 1939 and the start of the Second World War however. After 1939, no more large denomination silver coins were minted (2 and 5 Reichsmark). Smaller denomination coins continued to be minted but no longer using the "superior" metals. From 1940, almost all the small denomination coins were minted from an zinc base metal. The exception to this were 50 Reichspfennig coins which were instead minted from an aluminum base metal.

The 3rd Reich had a number of mints (coin factories). Each mint location had its own identifiable letter. It is therefore possible to identify exactly which mint produced what coin by noting the mint mark (letter) on the coin. Not all mints were authorized to produce coins every year. The mints were also only authorized to produced a set number of coins with some mints allocated a greater production than others. Some of the coins with particular mint marks are therefore scarcer than others. On the smaller denomination Reichspfennig coins, the mint mark is found on the bottom center of the coin.

PLEASE READ IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!

When you see an auction-style listing offering two or more identical items, this is called a Multiple Item Auction (also known as a Dutch Auction). This means the seller is offering multiple, identical items for sale. Unlike a regular eBay auction, Multiple Item Auctions can have many winners.

• When you bid on a Multiple Item Auction, you specify the number of items you're interested in and the price you're willing to pay per item.

  Important: For Multiple Item Auction listings, you cannot use eBay's automatic bidding system to enter a maximum (or “proxy”) bid. (For more information, see Bidding on eBay.) Winning bidders will pay a price equal to the lowest winning bid. Winning bids are selected in order of bid price per item. For example, a bid for 5 units at $12 per unit is ranked above a bid for 10 units at $11 per unit. If two bids have the same price per item, the earlier bid is given priority. If the only bidder in a Multiple Item Auction bids on the full quantity the seller is offering at an amount over the opening bid, that seller will be the winning bidder for all items at the price bid per item.

• You cannot lower your “total bid value” (your bid price per item times the number of items on which you’re bidding) if you raise your bid in this type of Multiple Item Auction.

  Example:

  For a listing with 10 available items and 4bidders:

  • Bidder A Makes Offer or bid for 2 items at $4 each

  • Bidder B Makes Offer or  bid for 8 items at $5 each.

  • Bidder C Makes Offer or bid 3 items at $6 each.

  • Bidder D Makes Offer or bid for 2 items at $7 each

  In this case, the lowest successful bid is $5 and the bidders list will look like this:

Therefore, the outcome of this listing is:

• Bidder D wins 2 items at $5 each.

  • Bidder C wins 3 items at $5 each.

  • Bidder B wins 5 items at $5 each.

  • Bidder A wins no items.

• The ranking of the bids affects the allocation of the items. Winning bidders have the right to refuse partial quantities. This means that if you win some, but not all, of the quantity you bid for, you don't have to buy any of them. In the above example, Bidder B bid on 8 items, but won only 5 of them. Bidder B can refuse to complete the purchase, because Bidder B did not win the quantity he or she bid on. If Bidder B refuses the purchase, the seller may offer items to Bidder A.

• Bids are displayed when you click on the "Bidders list" link. Bids that are not currently winning show their bid prices, but bids that are winning show the price that they would pay if the auction ended immediately. This means that, in the Bid History, all winning bids show the same price per unit – the lowest winning bid. To place a winning bid (a bid that wins at least some units), you need to exceed this price.

If you are still confused, dont bid and refer to E-Bays guide to bidding!
