A COLLECTION OF COINS OF THE CANTERBURY MINT THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN The earliest coins firmly attributed to a mint at Canterbury are the broad flan pennies of the Kentish kings Heaberht and Ecgberht dated to c.765-80. Coins were subsequently struck at Canterbury for the Archbishops of Canterbury, the kings of Mercia, Kent, Wessex and later of England. In the mid-ninth century Canterbury seems to have also been a centre for the cutting of dies with Canterbury style dies issued to Rochester moneyers as well as possibly moneyers in other locations.

The Canterbury mint operated more or less continuously until the third or Florin coinage of Edward III (1327-77) which commenced in 1344. After this mint operations at Canterbury ceased until they were revived with the light coinage of Edward IV (1460-70 & 1471-83) in 1464 when the Archbishop obtained the right to operate a mint. No coins though were issued for Henry VI in his second reign (1470-71) or for Richard III (1483-1485), but Henry VII (1485-1509) and his successors continued the arrangements begun under Edward IV (1547-53). The Canterbury mint issued its last coins for the second period base coinage of Edward VI (1547-53) and was closed by 1550.

The collection offered here is especially strong in the early issues of the Canterbury mint with some important examples including a penny of Offa’s queen, Cynethryth, as well as coins struck by Archbishops Aethelheard, Wulfred and Ceolnoth. A number of the coins come from important old collections whilst others are finds made in the last few years and acquired by the vendor from Spink.

The ninth century coins are referenced to the recently published ‘The coinage of Southern England 796-865’ (Spink 2011) by Dr. Rory Naismith which provides by far the best listing of coin types and surviving coins published to date.

Kent, Eadberht Praen (796-98), Penny, 1.16g, three line type, Canterbury, Duda, EAD./BEARHT/REX, HT ligate, trefoil before EAD and before REX, rev. DVDA with various pellets between two lines, uncial M above dividing two trefoils, interlocking geometric pattern below (Naismith C5.2 - this coin illustrated; N.-; cf. S.875), slight edge loss between 6 and 9 o’clock, light surface hairline crack on obverse, very fine, the only recorded example of this type, extremely rare

£3,500-4,500

Following the death of Offa in 796, Kent rejected Mercian overlordship and installed Eadberht Praen ‘the priest’ as king. His rule lasted for two years before Mercian power was reasserted and he was deposed, mutilated and placed in a monastery.

£2,500-3,500

This issue belongs to the period between the rejection by Kent of the Mercian Ceolwulf I and the installation of Baldred as king. Ceolwulf I was crowned by Archbishop Wulfred probably in late 822 and Baldred seems to have become king by 824, suggesting this anonymous regal issue belongs to a very short period of about a year in 822/23.

Naismith lists him for a single coin for this type for Baldred for whom he struck a number of other types, of which the next lot is an example PROVENANCE:

Archbishops of Canterbury, Aethelheard with Coenwulf as overlord, c.798-800, Penny, 1.36g, Canterbury, EP contraction bar above within inner circle from which extend four cruciform spokes dividing AED/IL.H/EAR/D AR, rev. tribach of two lines, uncial M, V and a wedge in angles, X+CO/ENV/LF RE around (Naismith C22.3 reverse only, obverse not listed but similarities with Niasmith C8 reverse; cf. N.233; S.886), small edge split at eleven o’clock, otherwise full coin, very fine, an unlisted reverse for this issue, extremely rare

£2,500-3,500

The obverse of this coin with the four cruciform spokes is similar to the reverse of Naismith C8, attributed to Aethelheard alone. This link suggests that this coin may belong to the earliest period of Aethelheard’s joint coinage with Coenwulf of Mercia soon after the ejection of Eadberht Praen in 798. As such this is a new addition to the issues for this phase.

Mercian society is thought to have accorded women levels of authority which were unusual in the early medieval period. These issues reflect this with Cynethryth being allowed to issue coins in her own name, a right only otherwise briefly allowed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, before his issues had to be jointly with Offa, as his overlord.

The obverse of this coin is thought to copy the style of the bust found on Denarii of Faustina snr. - see an example, lot 287.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE EXTREMELY RARE COINAGE OF KING EADWALD OF EAST ANGLIA

East Anglia, Eadwald, c.796-98/800, Penny, 1.39g, probably Ipswich, Lul, king’s name between two pelleted lines, REX/+EADVA/LD, quadrilateral of five pellets before REX, rosette either side of LD, rev. +/L/V/L/ within segments of a quadrilobe, ornaments by letters, rosettes in angles (Naismith E3 - new die combination; N.432; S.947), small edge chip at four o’clock, full details otherwise good very fine, extremely rare

£3,000-4,000

PROVENANCE:

Found near Blean, Canterbury, Kent, July 2011 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2011-0178.

This is only the sixth example recorded for this issue. Of these, three coins are known all from the same dies. This coin is from different dies. The other two recorded coins are damaged and unable to be attributed to particular dies. On the death of Offa in 796, the East Anglians rebelled against the Mercians and appear to have installed Eadwald as their king. Eadwald is only known from his coinage which provides the main evidence for this rebellion as it is not recorded in any written source. It would seem he held out as an independent king in East Anglia until it was reconquered by the Mercians under Coenwulf probably c.800.

CTCE 20, 212; N.-; S.1140A), well struck, extremely fine, extremely rare, the finest known example of an Eadgar Halfpenny

£3,000-4,000

PROVENANCE:

Found near Salisbury, Wilts, September 2011 Recorded with Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2011-0228 Halfpennies known for Eadgar were struck at Winchester and London featuring the mint name in a style used on rare mint signed coins of Alfred. Another small issue seems to have deployed a floral device which in turn harks back to the extraordinary types of Edward the Elder. Until 25 years ago the Eadgar circumscription cross Halfpenny was unknown. A broken example from the Chichester mint then established that these were also struck. This full example is only the second to have been recorded. The style of the coin is typical of the southern group circumscription cross pennies of Eadgar. Boiga was a Wilton moneyer and is known for Eadgar’s circumscription cross and reform small cross issues.

V.J.E. Ryan, Glendining, 28-30 June 1950, lot 260 B. Roth, Sotheby, 19-20 July 1917, lot 274 A.W. Hankin, Sotheby, 29 March 1900, lot 308 There is a remarkable difference between the ship Ryals of Mary and Elizabeth I. Mary appears plainly and solemnly dressed, holding a sword and shield and standing in an old fashioned high castled galleon. Twenty-five years later, her successor Elizabeth I is shown elaborately and splendidly dressed, holding an orb and sceptre and standing in a ship recognisably the English warship of Drake and Hawkins as seen on medals, engravings and pictures from the time of the Spanish Armada. The contrast is not accidental. Mary represents militant piety of a monarchy defending the old religious order. Elizabeth on the other hand links the majesty and eminence of the queen to English naval technology, projecting Elizabethan diplomatic policy within the politics of the counter-reformation.

THE CUMBRIA COLLECTION - THE PROPERTY OF A LADY The Cumbria collection, formed between 1980 and 2000, focuses on coins, tokens, passes and commemorative medals relating to the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. It is especially strong in coins of the Carlisle mint including a penny of Prince Henry from the time when the town was a Scottish possession, as well as three examples of the extremely rare 1645 Carlisle siege pieces from the English Civil War. Among the tokens and passes are many examples in good condition with a good representation of the old industries of the area especially coal mining. Included in the collection are a few lots relating to other areas than Cumbria with a set of copper tokens for Culross Wester Main Colliery in Scotland especially rare.

PROVENANCE:

Glendining, 20 June 1990, lot 1127 (illustrated as lot 815) This reverse type with the plain angles, is attributed by both Burns and Stewart to Prince Henry, Earl of Northumberland and Huntingdon. This coin appears to pair a reverse die type used for the ENCI COM coins of Prince Henry with an obverse die naming David I. Both are known to have struck coins at Carlisle. Carlisle was under Scottish rule from 1139, when Stephen ceded Northumberland and Cumberland to David I, until 1157 when Malcolm IV surrendered them back to Henry II.

AN EXCEPTIONAL OFFERING OF CARLISLE SIEGE PIECES Carlisle, under the command of Sir Thomas Glemham for the King, was besieged by the Scots from October 1644 until June 25 1645, when it surrendered to David Leslie, later Lord Newark. The siege took the form of a blockade with a shortage of food leading to a decision to surrender when the prospect of relief disappeared after the royalist defeat at Naseby on June 14 1645.

Following the surrender, the seven hundred defenders were allowed to leave.

An account of the siege by a citizen of Carlisle at the time notes that at the end of 1644 all the corn in the town was taken and put into stores and at the same time an order was issued asking every citizen to bring their plate, as the writer adds ‘to be coyned, which they did chearfully.’ This was turned into Three Shilling and Shilling coins under the authority of the garrison commanders.

In all 1,162 oz of plate worth £280-10s-101⁄2d was coined producing £323 worth of coins.

Nelson suggested that this was divided into 1000 Three Shilling coins and around 3,460 Shillings. It seems the coins were issued on May 30 1645 and so circulated for around one month only. Each denomination has two varieties, one with a reverse inscription in two lines, the other in three lines. We offer here an example of the three line Three Shilling coin along with an example of each variety of the Shilling.

This is the first time a Carlisle Three Shilling siege piece has appeared at auction since 1997 and the first time in many decades that both denominations have been offered together.

The Banks token was originally attributed to Wigan by Nathan Heywood in 1912. No evidence was provided, the rationale for the attribution perhaps being that a known Wigan issuer had the same surname (Gerard Bankes, BW.138) in a town known for its coal mines.

A VERY RARE SET OF 18TH CENTURY SCOTTISH TOKENS

196

196

Scotland, Fife, Culross, Wester Main Colliery, copper tokens (4), arms of Earl of Dundonald, coronet above, motto below, rev. shield with two crossed coal picks, of Halfcrown size (2, different rev. dies), edge DECVS ET TVTAMEN ANNO REGNI OCT[AVO], of Shilling size and Sixpence size, edge grained (DW.42-45), very fine to nearly extremely fine, DW.42 with a few rim knocks; all the known varieties of this issue, a very rare set (4)

ÂŁ200-250

Issued either by the sixth Earl (1725-1737) or the eighth (1758-1778). The edge inscription on the large tokens indicates an issue date of 1735 or 1767-8. All were almost certainly made at the Tower mint, and the case for issue in George II’s reign is enhanced by the close similarity of the edge to that of the silver regal Halfcrown of 1735, unless the edge collars were still available for use over thirty years later

RARE PATTERNS FOR THE 1928 FIRST COINAGE OF THE IRISH FREE STATE The Irish Government decided in 1926 to introduce a coinage with designs separate from that used within the rest of Great Britain.

A committee was set up to consider the design for this and a number of artists from Ireland and elsewhere in the world were asked to submit proposals. Publio Morbiducci was one of seven designers approached. The designs by Percy Metcalfe were chosen for the new coinage introduced in 1928.

There are only recorded four examples of the Morbiducci pattern Sixpence and Threepence.

Publio Morbiducci was born in Rome in 1889 and commenced his studies at the Institute of Fine Arts, later working under Giulio Gambellotti and Angelo Zannello with whom he worked on the Victor Emmanuele monument in Rome. His work encompassed buildings and monuments as well as coinage and medals.

This medal was probably struck to express general concern over the great increase in the price of wheat as a result of a poor harvest in 1800. These concerns were considered in a number of reports by committees in the Houses of Parliament and this medal reflects the political tensions these issues generated at the time.

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1

All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the Lot.

2.2

The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.

the first session of the sale. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly.

3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.

BEFORE THE SALE 3.1

3.2

Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.13 of these Terms and Conditions.

3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.

Catalogue descriptions 3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.

3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.

3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot.

3.3

3.4

Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.

3.4.4 We will not normally accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.

3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot. 3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity.

No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.

AT THE SALE 4.1

Refusal of admission Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.

4.2

Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.

Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

Commission Bids If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

On-line Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller.

4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement.

4.14 Return of Lot In the event that you have received a Lot and wish to return the Lot you must notify us in writing within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, stating the reason for the return. The Lot must then be returned to us within 14 days of receipt, in the same condition as at the auction date. Any such request is subject to our sole discretion.

5

AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium of 20% on the final hammer price of each Lot. 5.2

Value Added Tax Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) (see VAT Symbols for details), VAT is payable on the Buyer’s Premium and on the Hammer Price, if the Lot has been marked with a sign to that effect in the catalogue (see VAT Symbols for details).

5.3

VAT Refunds General 5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for VAT on all Lots unless they have been exported outside the EU within 3 months of the date of sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of VAT invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any refundable VAT will not be collected. In all other cases credits will be made when proof of export is provided. If you export the Lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the Shipping Department for which a charge of £50 will be made.

4.6

Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7

Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank Plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in London. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

5.3.2 If you export the Lot you must return the valid proof of export certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. If you fail to return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and you have not already accounted to us for the VAT, you will be liable to us for the full amount of the VAT due on such Lot and we shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum.

4.8

Video images At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

4.9

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: Up to £100 by £5 £100 to £300 by £10 £300 to £600 £320-£350-£380-£400 etc. £600 to £1,000 by £50 £1,000 to £3,000 by £100 £3,000 to £6,000 £3,200-£3,500-£3,800-£4,000 etc. £6,000 to £20,000 by £500 £20,000 and up Auctioneer’s discretion

VAT Refunds - Buyers from within the EU 5.3.4 VAT refunds are available on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium of Daggered (†) and Investment Gold (g) Lots. You must certify that you are registered for VAT in another EU country and that the Lot is to be removed from the United Kingdom within 3 months of the date of sale.

5.3.5 Where an EU buyer purchases a Lot on which import VAT has been charged, no refund of VAT is available from us. It may be possible to apply directly for a refund on form VAT 65 to HM Revenue & Customs Overeseas Repayment Section, Londonderry.

4.10 Bidding by Spink 4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue.

4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal.

4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.

Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

5.3.3 To apply for a refund of any VAT paid, the proof of export certificate must be sent to our Shipping Department clearly marked ‘VAT Refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale. No payment will be made where the total amount of VAT refundable is less than £50 and Spink will charge £50 for each refund processed.

VAT Refunds – Buyers from outside the EU 5.3.6 Where a Lot is included within the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT element included within the Buyer’s Premium may be refunded.

5.3.7 Where the Lot is marked as a Daggered (†) or Investment Gold (g) Lot the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be refunded where evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.

5.3.8 Where the Lot is marked as an Omega (Ω) Lot or an Import VAT (x) Lot and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT charged on both the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium may be refunded. Where required, we can advise you on how to export such Lots as a specific form of export evidence is required. Where we advise you on the export of the Lots, please be aware that the ultimate responsibility in respect of obtaining a valid proof of export certificate will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to obtain such certificate.

You must pay the full amount due (comprising the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium and any applicable VAT) within seven days after the date of the sale. This applies even if you wish to export the Lot and an export licence is (or may be) required.

5.4.2 You will not acquire title to the Lot until all amounts due to us have been paid in full to us, even in circumstances where we have released the Lot to you.

5.4.3 Payment should be made in sterling by one of the following methods: II(i) Direct bank transfer to our account details of which are set out on the invoice. All bank charges shall be met by you.

Please ensure that your client number is noted on the transfer. i(ii) By cheque or bank draft made payable to Spink and Son Ltd and sent to Spink at 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 4ET.

Please ensure that the remittance slip printed at the bottom of the invoice is enclosed with your payment. (iii) By Visa or Mastercard. A charge of 2% will be applied.

Payments exceeding £5,000 can normally only be made by the card holder in person whilst on our premises.

5.4.4 Payments should be made by the registered buyer and not by third parties, unless it has been agreed at the time of registration that you are acting as an agent on behalf of a third party.

5.6 Collection of Purchases 5.6.1 Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been paid in full.

5.6.2 Unless we notify you to the contrary, items retained by us will be covered in accordance with our policy which is available for inspection at our offices from the date of sale for a period of seven days or until the time of collection, whichever is sooner. After seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot will be entirely at your risk.

5.6.3 Our policy will not cover and we are unable to accept responsibility for damage caused by woodworm, changes in atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism.

5.7 Notification We are not able to notify successful bidders by telephone. While Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. You are requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the auction to obtain details of the outcome of your bids to avoid incurring charges for late payment.

5.8 Packing and handling 5.8.1 We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the Lot is entirely at your risk. Our postage charges are set out at the back of the catalogue.

5.8.2 It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to avoid these duties. The onus is also on the Buyer to be aware of any Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) under these circumstances. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s) seized or destroyed by Customs.

5.9 Recommended packers and shippers If required our shipping department may arrange shipment as your agent. Although we may suggest carriers if specifically requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third parties concerned.

5.10 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 5.10.1 If you fail to make payment within seven days of your stipulated payment date set out in your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies: 5.10.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due; 5.10.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.4

Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

5.10.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your Lots or other property in the possession of the Spink Group until you have paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink Group, even if the unpaid amounts do not relate to those Lots or other property.

Following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink Group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us or the Spink Group, and pay any balance to you; 5.10.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink Group in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not you so direct; 5.10.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any bids.

5.10.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.10.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.10.2.2 to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20% seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make payment; or 5.10.2.3 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit.

5.11 Failure to collect Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required to pay a storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply. You will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

5.12 Export Licence 5.12.1 If required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences.

5.12.2 If the Lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver document stating that a licence will be applied for.

5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. Export licences are usually obtained within two or three weeks but delays can occur.

5.12.4 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment.

5.12.5 If you request that we apply for an export licence on your behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together with any relevant VAT. 5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made by you despite the fact that an export licence is required.

5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.13.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following conditions are met: 5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a Forgery; 5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the auction date; and

Spink Coins 11024 pages:Layout 1

Page 128

5.13.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims.

5.13.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall have no claim for interest.

5.13.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

5.13.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process was used or in use at the date of the auction.

6 LIABILITY Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for: 6.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or 6.2 any damage or liability incurred by you as a result of our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

7 COPYRIGHT 7.1 We shall have the right (on a non-exclusive basis) to photograph, video or otherwise produce an image of the Lot. All rights in such an image will belong to us, and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit.

7.2 The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material relating to a Lot is and shall remain at all times our property and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit. You shall not use or allow anyone else to use such images, illustrations or written material without our prior written consent.

8 VAT You shall give us all relevant information about your VAT status and that of the Lot to ensure that the correct information is printed in the catalogues.

Once printed, the information cannot be changed. If we incur any unforeseen cost or expense as a result of the information being incorrect, you will reimburse to us on demand the full amount incurred.

10 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS The following provisions of this clause 10 shall apply only if you are acting for the purposes of your business.

10.1 Limitation of Liability Subject to clause 6, we shall not be liable, whether in tort (including for negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract, misrepresentation or otherwise for any: 10.1.1 loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of contract, loss of use, loss of corruption of data or information; or 10.1.2 any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses.

10.2 Severability If any part of these Terms and Condition is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part may be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.3 Force majeure We shall have no liability to you if we are prevented from, or delayed in performing, our obligations under these Terms and Conditions or from carrying on our business by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or the workforce of any other party), failure of a utility service or transport network, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or subcontractors.

10.4 Waiver 10.4.1 A waiver of any right under these Terms and Conditions is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions or by law shall constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor preclude or restrict its further exercise. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that (or any other) right or remedy.

10.4.2 Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and do not exclude rights provided by law.

Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

Value Added Tax (VAT) Charging of (VAT) at Auction The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends to account for VAT.

i.

Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme 1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of any symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not be subject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to VAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’ Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules for recovering input tax.

ii.

Zero-Rated Lots Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT in the United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. In these circumstances no VAT element will be included within the Buyer’s Premium.

iii.

Daggered Lots Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20% on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv.

Starred and Omega Lots Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% on the Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown as inclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation into the EU.

v.

Investment Gold Lots Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.

vi.

Imported Lots Lots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium because they have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.
