BRITISH 18th CENTURY TOKENS

From the Historical “Baldwin Basement” Stock of A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd Part Two

PREFACE This is the second of three scheduled auctions offering 18th Century Provincial Tokens from the Baldwin’s historical stock: “The Baldwin Basement”. The tokens have been acquired over the many generations at Baldwin’s and have been off the market for at least a half-century, and most quite a bit longer. Baldwin’s have been the privileged custodian of what has probably been the largest and most complete collection of tokens in the world, but the decision has been made finally to offer them to collectors via public auction. Many of the individual tokens can be traced directly to wellknown collections, including the John Dudman Collection (acquired privately by Baldwin’s in 1914), the F S Cokayne Collection (acquired in its entirety in 1946), the A W Jan Collection (purchased by Baldwin’s in 1955), and other sources, both private and public, including the Hamer Sale in 1930, Waite Sanderson in 1944, and Longman in 1958.

Of particular note is the collection formed by Francis S Cokayne who assembled an astounding number of tokens, probably the finest, and most extensive collection ever formed. He began collecting, along with his brother, Morton, in the late 1880s, had the pick of James Atkins’ cabinet, traded regularly with many of the noted collectors of the period, and seems to have participated in every public token auction in the United Kingdom for over 50 years, either directly or through a representative (it was a standing rule at Baldwin’s that staff could not leave on Friday until a new parcel of tokens was posted to Mr Cokayne’s offices on Montagu Square). A number of the tokens in this auction can be further traced through him to William Norman, Frederick Lincoln, Samuel Hamer, Lionel Fletcher, William Davis, and, of course, James Atkins, among others.

The provincial tokens issued in the late 18th Century in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland form a complex series, essentially composed of a variety of types (as circulating coinage, store cards, political and social commentary, private tokens, and those made for collectors) and for a variety of purposes. There are genuine issues, counterfeits, medley tokens (mules and edge varieties), specious fabrications, restrikes, off metal trials and presentation pieces, odd concoctions, as well as surviving artist’s proofs and die trials. As a result, they may be organised, arranged, catalogued or collected in any one of a number of ways.

The tokens in this auction have been arranged alphabetically by issuer. This was a choice made early on in the cataloguing process and was done to place a greater emphasis on the individuals responsible, instead of their assigned geographic location. This arrangement provides for a different sense of the quantity and variety of tokens issued by a specific individual, or individuals, or a company as the case may be, as well as facilitating the tracing of die links and states. Clearly there may be some concerns and for this, we can only hope that you will take the time to explore a path less travelled.

Citations are listed, where available, for Conder Pye, The Virtuoso’s Companion and Atkins, as well as Dalton & Hamer. There is reason for this. While Dalton & Hamer seemed to have had access to part of Cokayne’s collection prior to their publications, there is evidence that that may not have been the case with others. Nor were their efforts universally accepted. As late as 1936, Glendining’s Sale of Frederick Lincoln’s Collection was listed only according to Atkins and not Dalton & Hamer’s Provincial Token Coinage, although the latter had been completed and in print for nearly two decades. I was fortunate to have had access to Baldwin’s extensive library that included not only annotated reference volumes and auction catalogues, but also Cokayne’s personal notes that were invaluable in bridging the gap between James Atkins’ Tradesmen’s Tokens and Dalton & Hamer, as well as confirming provenance and dates of acquisition.

These tokens have been well cared for, many having accumulated a patina from a century, or more, of storage. For the most part, the level of preservation is remarkable. As a result, it was possible to identify under-types and die states where it might have been impossible, had the tokens been subject to more extensive handling. They are being offered untouched and as a result some have a little dust and detritus adhering to them, some with the remnants of red casting wax (used to take an impression of the token to make plaster casts for early photogravure illustrations), and as a result much of the lustre and original colour can be well disguised. We have graded the tokens with this in mind and along international standards, mentioning the beautiful hidden lustre where it is evident.

It has been great fun, and an extraordinary privilege, exploring “Baldwin’s Basement” and handling tokens that were once the prized possessions of dedicated collectors long passed. Now it is time for them to find new homes.

Part One of the collection was offered in September 2014 and the third part will be offered in September 2016.

Christ’s Hospital

Christ’s Hospital was founded in London by King Edward VI for the orphan children of poor Londoners and was given the use of the old Grey Friars buildings. It admitted its first 380 children in November 1552 and was given its Royal Charter by Edward VI in 1553, being part of a foundation which included St Thomas’s Hospital (for the sick) and Bridewell Hospital (for idle vagabonds). The school’s Tudor uniform, which has been in place since it’s founding, includes belted, long blue coats, knee-breeches, yellow socks, and bands at the neck. The nickname “Bluecoat School” comes from the blue coats worn by the students – however, the nickname used within the school community itself is “Housey” and the long coat is called a “housey coat” Beginning in 1800 Christ’s Hospital minted its own coinage, a sixpence, penny and halfpenny, which were exchanged for the coin of the realm and could only be spent in shops within the site. They were known locally as Housey Money.

Daniel Isaac Eaton

(1744-1814), printer, 81 Bishopsgate Street, later 74 Newgate Street, and 3 Ave Maria Lane. He was prosecuted multiple times for selling what was considered to be seditious libel, including works by Thomas Paine. His first trial was on 7 June 1793 where he was found ‘guilty’ of publishing but without criminal intent, an occurrence that was repeated on 10 July of the same year, and with the same result. At this point Eaton relocated to 74 Newgate Street, where he called his residence the Cock and Swine, which seems to account for the design on his token. It was from this location that he was again arrested for publishing ‘Politics for the People’ and tried on 24 February 1794. He was found not guilty and of this trial it was written that “It was a ridiculous prosecution, characteristic of the times: the culprit escaped, and their lawyers were laughed at.”. After the trial, the London Corresponding Society voted to award each of the members of the jury and counsel, a silver medal in commemoration of their efforts. Eaton was charged again in 1795, this time fleeing to America to avoid prosecution. Sometime after his return to England, he was charged once more, this time in 1812. He was found guilty and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment in Newgate. Daniel Eaton died in 1814 completely impoverished.

FRIGGLES GOUDHURST + + + + + (Atkins p.52, 26; D&H Kent 28). Light contact marks and the remains of old lacquer, otherwise nearly extremely fine, an early state of the obverse die. £40-60 ex A W Jan Collection, sold by Glendinings, 7 May 1952, this token part of the remainder purchased by Baldwin’s in 1955 William Lutwyche developed a thriving trade in the production of tokens for various merchants in Kent. Among his many commissions were those for William Fuggle, a tallow chandler, and William Mynn, a shopkeeper, both residing in Goudhurst.

Lutwyche used identical dies for both issuers, altering the edge inscription to distinguish between the two. William Fuggle got his tokens first, but he seems to have resisted the mis-spelling of his name as Friggles (DH Kent 28) and the issue was suppressed until it could be corrected. The second generation of these dies (DH Kent 28c) were struck on a flan intended for William Peckham, also a Lutwyche client. It’s likely that this was in error as it may have been too much of a stretch, even for Lutwyche, to use the same dies for three issuers. In any case, Peckham had his own set of dies engraved (see DH Kent 3) although it is interesting to note that on at least on a few occasions, an errant Friggles flan received the impression of the dies from his token (DH Kent 3a). Before Fuggle received his corrected order, Lutwyche had already moved on to striking tokens with the same dies for William Mynn (DH Kent 29). Lutwyche then completed the order for Fuggle with two variations (DH Kent 28a and 28b). By this time both Fuggle and Mynn had become aware of the confusion and began counter-stamping their respective tokens with an “F” or an “M”, while Fuggle took the additional step of actually cancelling the inscription on inappropriate edges.

London Corresponding Society

The London Corresponding Society was founded on 25 January 1792 by John Frost (1750-1842), an attorney, and Thomas Hardy, a shoemaker. The principle aim of the Society was parliamentary reform, especially the expansion of the representation of working class people. As membership in the Society grew the government had it deeply infiltrated by spies. Daniel Eaton was arrested for publishing ‘Politics for the People’ and tried on 24 February 1794.

He was found not guilty and of this trial it was written that “It was a ridiculous prosecution, characteristic of the times: the culprit escaped, and their lawyers were laughed at.” In May 1794 the government took more action, some of the leaders were arrested and Thomas Hardy, John Thelwall and John Horne Tooke were tried for treason in October, but were acquitted. The government responded with the so-called Two Acts – an extension of the treason laws with the Treasonable Practices Act and also the repressive Seditious Meetings Act in 1795. Thomas Spence, another member, was arrested on three occasions. More arrests followed and, in 1799, the Society itself was declared illegal under the Corresponding Societies Act, effectively ending the LCS.

Middlesex 203). Trifling marks, otherwise essentially as made and attractively toned, exceptionally rare, only three examples traced in silver. £2000-3000 After the acquittal of Daniel Eaton in 1794, the Society commissioned a medal in commemoration, and appreciation of those involved. The names inscribed on the reverse were those of the jurors, the Society’s belief that “adherence to principles of reason and justice by juries does more to secure attachment to the laws than armies of Hessians and Hanoverians.” Fourteen medals in silver were to be struck with the intention of presenting them to the jurors; with two to go to Eaton’s counsel, John Gurney and Felix Vaughn. The LCS also approved the production of examples in copper and white metal, the latter intended to be sold to members at 6d each. In March of 1794 three of the silver medals were to be sent to the two members of counsel and to the jury foreman, Joseph Stafford, and were entrusted to Thomas Hardy, the founder and secretary of the LCS. Before they could be delivered, Hardy was arrested and the medals seized by the government. The medals were not returned until July 1795 and distributed shortly thereafter.

It is unclear from the records of the LCS how many medals where actually struck but it is interesting to note that only three medals in silver have ever been traced.

William Lutwyche

(1754-1801), toymaker, later token manufacturer, Temple Row and St Philip churchyard. Lutwyche was active in the production of tokens from 1789 until 1801 and seems to have had more individual commissions for than any other manufacturer. His output of more than 65 tons of provincial coins was exceeded only by that of Thomas Williams, the consortium of Westwood and Hancock, and that of Matthew Boulton. He also frequently combined dies then in his possession to produce various mules, concocted numerous specious issues, and has been attributed with manufacturing the bulk of evasions and lightweight coppers that appeared toward the end of the 18th Century.

However there is no record of this example appearing anywhere. This is probably Atkins Not Local 116 which was likely mis-listed by Atkins and copied by D&H. Cokayne has this as Not Local 119bis, having the same bust as DH Hampshire 35.

It has been suggested that Mary Lambe & Son were the issuers of this token. It may be so, but the edge reading of a “I . . PROMISE TO PAY ON DEMAND ONE HALFPENNY . . . “ seems a bit specious since there is no indication of the issuer nor place of redemption. No similar edge appears on any other ‘Association’ token or medal (nor on any of the other tokens issued by Lambe & Son). It is, perhaps, just as likely that this is a specious Lutwyche concoction, given that the dies were used to produce a double thick token; the obverse die also muled with a West Cowes reverse (DH Somersetshire 2 and 25) initially intended for a Thomas Aryton halfpenny (see DH Hampshire 94). However, as many manufacturers seemed to have treated dies in their possession as their own (Lutwyche included) this is not necessarily conclusive.

Skidmore

John Skidmore established a foundry in Coppice Row, Clerkenwell sometime in 1784 and had an outlet at 123, High Holborn beginning in 1789. In 1793 his eldest son, Meremouth, entered the business and the firm became known as Skidmore and Son. While advertising themselves as register-stove makers and “Stove Grate-maker to His Majesty’s Honourable Board of Ordnance” they produced a wide range of merchandise including lanterns, cutlery, and products for the carriage trade. In late 1794 or early 1795 they issued a halfpenny token advertising their firm and shortly thereafter John’s second son, Paul, joined the trade. By mid-1795 their token-making scheme expanded dramatically and they began employing both Jacobs and James as die-sinkers. Paul seems to have assumed a greater role later in the year and it is possible that he applied some of his talent to the production of dies, as well. They did have a few private commissions but many of their tokens were intended for collectors including their series of buildings, churches, and gates. Over the next couple of years the practice of intermixing dies either their own or with those originally intended for others became more extensive and, ultimately, their manufactory accounted for nearly a quarter of all token varieties produced in the late eighteenth century.

Society for Free Debate

The Society for Free Debate was formed in Birmingham in 1789 to encourage discussion of topical ideas and events.

In 1790 the Birmingham Gazette noted that the Society had been complaining about the presence of strangers (likely government spies) at its meetings and that it now described itself as ‘The Select Society for Free Debate’. It’s first president was James Bisset, a close associate of John Freeth, and proprietor of a local museum and picture gallery.

Thomas Spence

Newcastle schoolmaster, writer and publisher, moved to London in 1792, where he set up a stall as a bookseller at the Holborn end of Chancery Lane. In 1794 he opened his shop, “The Hive of Liberty” at No. 8 Little Turnstile and became an active member of the London Corresponding Society. He allowed his home and shop to be used for Society meetings and, in May 1794, was arrested along with a dozen others, and committed to Newgate Prison for his efforts. In the short time since coming to London Spence had been arrested and tossed into jail on three occasions but was never found to be guilty in court of any offence. He entered the business of selling tokens, publishing a handbill listing twenty obverse and twenty reverse dies that could be ordered paired in any combination, and authoring an early guide to the series, The Coin Collector’s Companion in 1795. Spence’s social and political philosophy was represented in many of his dies and he was fond of producing combinations that exhibited contrasting meanings.

He issued and sold a great variety of tokens (visitors to his shop reported seeing thousands of tokens lying in heaps) before quitting the business in late 1796 or early 1797, his stock and dies passing to Skidmore where they continued to be muled amongst themselves and with others then in Skidmore’s possession.

John Wilkinson

(1728-1808), industrialist with interests in both iron and copper. He was successful in the development of a steam engine cylinder for the firm of Boulton & Watt in 1775, later issuing large quantities of tokens ostensibly to pay his employees. The tokens were referred to as “Willy’s” and were heavily counterfeited. His use of his own portrait on the tokens was the subject of a satirical tract in the London Magazine in 1787. Wilkinson was close friends with his brother-in-law, Joseph Priestley, and seemed to share some of his political sympathies including support for the French Revolution. He made large investments in French assignats, mainly for Priestley’s benefit, and his own use of countersigned assignats as a form of payment to his employees was stopped by parliament in 1793. After a short illness Wilkinson died at Bradley on 14 July 1808. He was buried at Castlehead, where an iron obelisk was erected in his memory.

Trifling marks, otherwise better than extremely fine and attractively toned. £400-600 Wilkinson seems to have seriously considered the idea of striking silver coin to pay his workers. Originally tariffed at 3s 6d he likely would have been ultimately obliged to reduce the redemption value to 2s, something more closely approximating its worth.

This Seal was adopted by various sympathetic organizations and reproduced on medal and tokens in the United Kingdom and, later, in the United States. While the Society encouraged the reproduction of the Seal designed by Wedgewood, there is no indication that they issued any tokens or medals directly.

Circular depression on the obverse, perhaps as made, a few edge bruises, otherwise nearly extremely fine and extremely rare. £150-200 ex F S Cokayne Collection KETTLE likely refers to Henry Kettle, a die-sinker active in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries.

Atkins later annotated his notes, however this information may not have been conveyed to D&H who copied the details from his original publication. As these were struck on full weight Macclesfield planchets it is likely that they originated at Soho, although the artist remains unidentified.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.

APPLICATION AND CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

1.1.

By making a bid, a Bidder acknowledges his acceptance of these Conditions and will be bound by them.

1.2.

Baldwin's acts as agent for the Seller for the sale of a Lot to the Buyer unless Baldwin's is the owner of the Lot. As such, Baldwin’s is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer.

1.3.

The contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer and is subject to these Conditions and the Seller's Conditions.

2.

PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS

2.1.

Statements made by us in a Catalogue, during the course of the Auction or elsewhere, describing a Lot including its authorship, origin, age, size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value are intended as a guide for interested Bidders. These are statements of opinion only and should not be relied on as statements of fact. Illustrations of the Lots are for general identification only.

2.2.

Lots by their nature are usually aged and varied in condition. The absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in any Catalogue does not imply that there are none.

2.3.

Coins are graded to accepted UK standards to the best ability of our specialists. You acknowledge that the grading of coins is subjective and may vary from specialist to specialist, as the process is by nature an art and not a science. For this reason, we do not automatically accept and are not bound by the opinions of third party coin grading services for any purposes including before and after the sale of a Lot. 2.4.

If you are interested in a Lot, we strongly recommend that you view it in person before the Auction and form your own opinion of the description of the Lot.

4.4.

Subject to Condition 4.2, the contract for the sale of the Lot is concluded on the fall of the hammer.

4.5.

All Lots are offered for sale subject to any Reserve.

4.6.

You cannot cancel your purchase of a Lot once the hammer has fallen.

5.

PAYMENT

5.1.

The Purchase Price payable by a Buyer is the Hammer Price plus a Buyer’s Premium of 20% of the Hammer Price. VAT is payable in addition unless the Lot is exempt or zero-rated.

5.2.

The symbol ‘G’ appearing next to a lot in this catalogue denotes the item is ‘Investment Gold’ and, therefore, a VAT-registered trader can submit a claim to H M Revenue and Customs to recover the VAT element of the Buyers’ Premium 5.3.

Any lot marked with a dagger (†) is subject to import VAT at 5%, this will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer if resident in the EU. If the lot is being exported outside the EU, this import VAT can be waived or refunded on proof of export.

5.4.

The Buyer of a Lot shall pay the Purchase Price in full before the Lot can be delivered to the Buyer.

5.5.

Except where Condition 5.4 applies, any part of the Purchase Price outstanding after the Auction shall be payable by you within 14 days of the date of the auction, the due date.

5.6.

The Purchase Price is payable by you in full. You are not entitled to set-off any amounts that you claim are due from us or anyone else or make any other deductions.

2.5.

We reserve the right to change any aspect of the published description of a Lot prior to the auction. Any change may be published on our website, displayed at the auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or communicated in any other manner.

5.7.

Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, you shall act on your own account as principal in respect of the sale and therefore if you accept a commission from a third party to bid on their behalf, you do so at your own risk and will remain personally liable (jointly with your principal) to us for the Purchase Price in accordance with these Conditions.

2.6.

All copyright in Catalogues including images belongs to Baldwin's.

5.8.

ABSENTEE COMMISSION BIDS

3.1.

If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may submit a Commission Bid and we will endeavour to purchase the Lot on your behalf for the lowest price possible. You must submit this in writing using the Commission Bid Form and send it to us by post, fax, email or delivery to our offices at least 24 hours prior to the Auction.

3.2.

For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address, contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your Commission Bid. 3.3.

We do not charge for this service and therefore we will not incur any liability for executing (or failing to execute) the Commission Bid. 3.4.

If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either us or our agents or you) in relation to your Bid. All bids made in this way must be confirmed in writing before the auction 3.5.

If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot, the Bid received first by us shall take precedence.

3.6.

"Buy" commissions [and unlimited Commission Bids] will not be accepted.

4.

AUCTION SALE

4.1.

Before the auction, all potential Bidders must notify their name and address to the auctioneer and if required provide proof of identity to our satisfaction and bank or other credit references.

4.2.

The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. If there is a dispute, the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute including re-offering the disputed Lot for sale.

4.3.

A Bidder must submit a bid for an entire Lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. The auctioneer shall however have an absolute discretion to divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, or to withdraw any Lot from the auction without giving any reason (including after the hammer has fallen). Bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer.

The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.

The methods of payment and surcharges are set out in the Catalogue.

5.9.

If the Purchase Price has not been settled within 30 days of the auction date a £50 late payment fee will be added and interest will be charged at 2% per month from the due date of payment to the date that cleared funds are received whether that is before or after any legal judgment. This is without prejudice to any other rights that we have for non-payment.

5.10. If you fail to comply with your obligations under these Conditions, the Lot, in respect of such non-compliance, may at our discretion be put up for sale at auction or privately and resold. In this case, you will be liable in full and will indemnify us for all losses, costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred as a result, including the costs of the resale and the amount (if any) by which the Hammer Price obtained on the resale is less than the Hammer Price obtained on the original sale of the Lot to the Buyer.

6.

RISK, TITLE AND DELIVERY

6.1.

The risk of damage/loss to the Lot will pass to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer. Title in a Lot will not pass to the Buyer until the Purchase Price has been paid in full.

6.2.

Unless agreed by us, you should collect the Lot within 7 days of the date of the auction. We reserve the right to charge for storage and to resell by auction or privately without notice to you, if a Lot is not collected. Alternatively we will send the Lot to you by recorded post.

Postage and insurance costs will be charged as additional costs.

6.3.

Except in relation to Forgeries, you must satisfy yourself that the correct Lot has been delivered to you at the time of collection/delivery. We will not be responsible for any discrepancy which might be discovered after the Lots have been collected. If we have shipped the Lot to you, we will not be responsible for any discrepancies if you fail to notify us within 24 hours of receipt.

6.4.

It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain any necessary import, export or other licences required in relation to a Lot. 7.

GUARANTEE FOR FORGERIES

7.1.

Baldwin’s is a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists and in accordance with the conditions of membership, provide a guarantee to the Buyer for all Lots against Forgeries on the terms set out in these Conditions (‘Guarantee’).

7.2.

For the purposes of these Conditions, a ‘Forgery’ means an imitation that has been created with the fraudulent intent to deceive in respect of the authorship, origin, date, age, period and the correct

description does not correspond with the description in the Catalogue and as a result has a value significantly less than it would have been had it been genuine.

7.3.

You must notify us in writing within one month of you becoming aware that the Lot may be a Forgery. The Lot must be returned to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and you must submit evidence that the Lot is a Forgery, the onus being on you to prove that it is a Forgery.

7.4.

You acknowledge that:

(a) we reserve the right to re-assess the Lot or engage at our expense any expert or authority considered by us at our sole discretion to have the necessary expertise to undertake a re-assessment of the Lot; (b) following our re-assessment of the Lot, you agree to be bound by our decision as to whether or not the Lot is a Forgery.

7.5.

You shall not be entitled to a refund for a Forgery if:

(a) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is based primarily on a difference of opinion between us and a third party providing coin grading services;

9.

DATA PROTECTION

9.1.

By agreeing to these Conditions, a Bidder acknowledges and agrees that we will use personal information of a Bidder for the purpose of the auction and ancillary matters, including providing a Buyer's personal details to any other person where necessary to enforce our rights under these Conditions.

10.

GENERAL

10.1. These Conditions and the Seller's Conditions constitute the entire agreement between us. All other terms, warranties and representations, express or implied by statute or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. No variation to these Conditions shall be legally binding unless agreed in writing by us.

10.2. All rights and benefits granted to a Bidder under these Conditions are personal to him and may not be assigned or in any other way transferred to any other person. Any such assignment or transfer will be invalid and unenforceable against us.

(b) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is by reason of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any nature;

10.3. A notice required or permitted to be given by either of us to the other under these Conditions shall, in the case of a Bidder, be to the last address notified to us and in the case of Baldwin's, shall be to its registered office.

(c) the description of the Lot in the catalogue was in accordance with generally accepted opinions of numismatic specialists as at the date of publication or the catalogue indicated that there was a conflict of opinion.

10.4. No failure or delay by us in exercising any of our rights under these Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by us of any breach of these Conditions by you shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

(d) it has been proved that the Lot is a Forgery by applying a method that was unavailable or not generally applied within the industry of numismatics as at the date of publication of the catalogue or was disproportionately expensive, in both cases as determined in our absolute discretion.

10.5. We may perform our obligations and exercise our respective rights through any of our group companies or assign our rights under these Conditions.

7.6.

If we agree that the Lot is a Forgery then subject to:

(a) you being able to confirm in writing that you can transfer legal and beneficial title to the Lot to us or as directed by us free from all encumbrances or third party claims of any nature; and (b) the exclusions in Condition 7.7, then the sale of the Lot will be rescinded so that it is cancelled and we will refund the Purchase Price to you in full.

7.7.

Your right to return the Lot and receive a refund of the Hammer Price under the Guarantee is your sole remedy against us, our agents and subcontractors and/or the Seller for a Forgery. You will not be entitled to claim interest on the amount due to you. Neither we, our agents or sub-contractors nor the Seller shall be liable for costs, expenses, damages or any other liability however it arises relating to a Forgery.

10.6. If any provision of these Conditions is held by any court or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected.

10.7. English law shall apply to these Conditions and we both agree to the English courts having exclusive jurisdiction.
