[QUOTE="swhuck, post: 1232844, member: 21044"]It sounds like you're looking at one of our Long Beach auctions. These auctions (US coins, world coins, currency) are scheduled to open for Internet bidding only around August 19, but that is only a rough estimate; it is common for our floor auctions to open for Internet bidding earlier than the scheduled date. They will stay open for Internet bidding until just before the items are scheduled to go to live auction. Once regular Internet bidding closes, you still have the chance to bid through Heritage Live, as Numan mentioned. You can place proxy bids until just before the lot comes up to the auction block, or you can bid live once the lot opens. The lot will open at whatever the current bid is, as listed on the website. This is generally the increment above the second-highest bid; the actual high bid is secret. If there is a reserve on the lot and the lot hasn't yet met the reserve, the lot will open half an increment below the reserve, making the reserve the next acceptable bid. If we have a Heritage Live proxy bid, you might see the lot open and immediately rise by several increments. LindeDad's post above has a lot of very good advice all around.[/QUOTE]
