£500-600

The reverse of this type is similar to that found for the London moneyer, Lulla (see Chick types 58-65). Udd is assigned by Chick to Canterbury but the obverse of this type is of a very unusual style for the Canterbury die cutters. It is therefore possible this was the work of a local die cutter rather than the normal hands at Canterbury.

PROVENANCE:

Found Melbourne, Nr. Royston, Cambridgeshire, October 2012 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2012.0253 The weight of this coin at 1.24g, and probably no more than 1.3g before the small edge loss, suggests this might be a Danelaw imitation, and curiously a coin with a very similar obverse was in the East Anglian focused Morley St Peter Hoard, Norfolk (see SCBI 26, 44, wt.1.49g).

However the good style of the obverse, including the detail of the bust and lettering, tends to indicate that this coin is a true issue of Wessex. This seems to suggest that some coins of this issue were struck at below the 1.50-1.60g normal Wessex weight for the London monogram coins and these may have been intended for circulation in the Southern Danelaw where a penny weight of c.1.2-1.30g aligns to the old Mercian and East Anglian standard before the Danish conquests of the 870s.

PROVENANCE:

Glendining, 4-5 October 1972, lot 10 - described as ‘very fine and full, one of the rarest and most beautiful coins in the English series.’ Realised £5,200 This sale contained a group of 71 English and Low Countries Ryals, which appear to be a hoard. This was noted in the catalogue introduction as ‘probably the most comprehensive group of English and Dutch rose nobles yet grouped in one sale.’ This was thought significant enough for the catalogue to include a full photographic record of each coin and fuller than usual descriptions.

The Mary Ryal was the star lot of the sale, the only English sixteenth century coin in the group.

The next most expensive coin after the Mary Ryal realised £1200.

THE COMMANDER GERHARDT COLLECTION OF ENGLISH HAMMERED COINS The Commander Gerhardt Collection was formed in the 1950s and 1960s with the coins mainly acquired through Spink where he worked closely with Douglas Liddell in selecting top quality specimens. He was able to benefit from a market where choice coins were much more available than today, with the important R. C. Lockett collection being dispersed in a series of sales between 1955 and 1961. Not surprisingly the Commander Gerhardt collection contains many coins from this collection, the finest private collection of British coins ever formed. The collection is especially strong in coins of William the Conqueror, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. It also includes notable examples of other rulers including a rare variety Alfred the Great London monogram Penny and a Richard III Angel. In addition to the English coins the collection includes Anglo-Gallic, German Talers and Roman coins with a British connection, which appear elsewhere in this sale.

Commander Robert Gerhardt, 1917-81 “When you hold a coin in your hand, just imagine who has held it before you and what role they played in history.”

Commander Robert Gerhardt was born in Oak Park, Illinois in 1917. After graduating from high school at 16, he travelled on a tramp steamer with a tight budget to Europe and bicycled all over England, Scotland, and Ireland. This journey awoke in him a love for English history, the development of the British political system, its Kings and Queens, William Shakespeare, and English poetry. On returning to Illinois Commander Gerhardt attended Northwestern University and graduate school at Harvard.

He enlisted in the United States Navy on December 8th 1941 - the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed - and embarked on a Naval career, serving in the Pacific during World War II. When he returned from his first tour, he met and married Marcella Wasson with whom he had six children over 11 years.

In 1957, Commander Gerhardt took his eldest daughter to the American Numismatic Association Coin Convention in Chicago, where he met Mr. Douglas Liddell of Spink and Sons, who became a lifelong friend linked by the love of coins.

He especially valued the links to history that each coin represented and believed they allowed him to share this with his family. As his collection grew over the years, all of his children have memories of him taking out the shoe box and poring over the coins on the dining room table. He would show a coin to a child, and use the opportunity to teach about that historical period. Through time, he continued his friendship with Mr. Liddell who helped focus and refine the collection with new acquisitions from Spink. Each new purchase was precious as Commander Gerhardt believed each coin was not only a piece of history but also a work of art.

One of his daughters recalls, “When Mr. Liddell from Spink came to our house, there was always a big anticipation of the visit.

A special dinner was prepared by my mother and the coins came out of the shoebox. After dinner, the two of them would go over the coins Daddy had, and the coins that Mr. Liddell had brought over. They would be at it for hours.”

As Commander Gerhardt grew older, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Gradually becoming more disabled, he took great joy in examining the coins and sharing their history with visitors. He passed away in 1981 and left his collection to his beloved wife. He was a man of honor and patriotism, and took great joy in his children and grandchildren.

His greatest hope was that he could help the younger generation along to a happy life. The family, who still miss him, now believe it is time to share the collection with others who are passionate about these beautiful coins and the history they tell. The coins will journey onward, and Commander Gerhardt will now be part of their history.

Victoria, proof ‘Gothic’ Crown, 1847 DECIMO SEPTIMO, crowned bust left, rev. four crowned shields cruciform, emblems in angles, edge DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI DECIMO SEPTIMO (ESC 290 - listed R7; L&S 59; S.3883 var.), a few light marks on the obverse, lustrous, attractive steel blue toning especially on reverse, extremely fine/good extremely fine, a great rarity, the second known example An extremely rare proof Crown. This coin appears to use the 1847 dies combined with the collar prepared for the 1853 Crown. Previously only recorded at auction for one example, this appearing in Murdoch III, Sotheby, 15-19 March 1904, lot 564, ‘brilliant and probably unique’, and Nobleman, Sotheby, 27 March 1922, lot 304, ‘brilliant and most probably unique’. This was presumed to be the same coin that was subsequently in the Brand and Norweb ( lot 617) collections and was offered in the Spink-Taisai (Tokyo) sale in July 1988 (lot 611). This is now the second recorded example of this type. The coin was acquired in the 1960s by the owner’s father as an UNDECIMO 1847 Gothic crown. He later realised the edge read DECIMO SEPTIMO. Correspondence, now lost, took place with Seaby about this coin at this time who verifed its authenticity.

In 1922 the Nobleman example of the 1847 SEPTIMO sold for £12-10-0. By comparison, lot 302 in the same sale with one 1847 plain edge proof Crown and two 1853 inscribed edge Crowns realised £6-0-0.

ARTEFACTS AND LARGE LOTS OF MILLED COINS

493 (reduced)

493

Cornish tin ingot from the SS Cheerful, late nineteenth century, 28lb, 42cm long x 12.5cm wide x 4 cm deep, on face at top a rectangular stamp, lamb and flag with CARVEDRAS below, at base, circular stamp, L C DAUBUZ TRURO, in good condition (buyer collects) The SS Cheerful sank in poor visibility 15 miles from the Longships lighthouse off Land’s End on July 20 1885 after a collision with HMS Hecla, a torpedo depot ship. She was bound from Falmouth to Liverpool and was carrying a cargo of 28 and 56 lb tin ingots. She sank within four minutes. Nine hands were lost although 36 other crew were rescued. Liverpool registered, she was built by Osbourne, Graham and Co. at Chylton in 1874 and was previously the SS Ethel Caine.

Ingots from the SS Cheerful were salvaged in 1994.

The Carvedras smelter in Truro was one of several which served the need for refining tin from the Cornish mines in the 1880s. It was owned by L.C. Daubuz. Carvedras was the last tin smelter in operation in Truro and closed in 1898. The last ingot to be smelted in Cornwall was cast on August 10 1931. The lamb and flag symbol was first used in 1715 by Henry Davis, the Cornish land and mine owner, and is based on the Davis family crest. The symbol became a mark for the purity of the tin.

WEDNESDAY 5 DECEMBER 2012 Morning Session commencing at 11.00 a.m

A COLLECTION OF DURRANI MOHURS THE PROPERTY OF AN INDIAN PRINCE This is believed to be the most extensive collection of Durrani gold Mohurs ever offered at auction. The coins date from the period when the Durrani dynasty gained supremacy over other Pashtun tribes and moulded Afghanistan into the form it takes today. Struck at mints as far flung as Shahjahanabad (Delhi) in the east and the holy city of Mashhad, now situated in Iran to the west, they are dated from the first year of Ahmad Shah’s rule in 1748 to the reign of his grandson, Shah Shuja in the early 19th century.

The dynasty’s founder, Ahmad Shah, was born into the Sadozai family of the Abdali tribe of Pashtuns. He first served as a military commander under the infamous Afsharid ruler Nadir Shah on various campaigns. While probably not present when he seized the Peacock Throne from the Mughals in 1739, he gained skills in both warfare and the administration of a great empire, and was on hand when Nadir was killed by his Persian generals. This proved a pivotal point in his career as he took the opportunity to seize much of Nadir’s portable wealth, including the famed Koh-i-Noor diamond and flee with it to Qandahar at the head of the army’s Pashtun contingent. A fortuitous encounter with a treasure convoy destined for Nadir’s camp ensured he reached Qandahar with both tribal support and wealth enough for him to be formally crowned as Shah in July 1747, accepting the title Durr-i-Durrani (pearl of pearls). A district of Qandahar was renamed Ahmadshahi in his honour, and became the capital, bearing the epithet Ashraf al-Bilad (most noble of cities). The Abdali tribe, from which he sprang, were henceforth styled the Durranis.

The time was ripe for Ahmad to launch an exhaustive series of campaigns that capitalised on the demise of the Safavids, the disruption in the Mughal Empire and the sudden collapse of Afsharid power. His empire expanded rapidly, at its height being bounded by Delhi to the east, the Amu Darya (Oxus River) to the north, Persian Khorasan in the west and the Arabian Sea to the south. It included the Indus valley and much of Kashmir. He struck coins at mints situated in every part of his kingdom, but at some the issues were sporadic and linked to his arrival on campaign. The coins themselves were modelled on those of the Mughal and earlier Persian dynasties; the mint name being written on the reverse, often with a descriptive epithet, and a rhyming couplet appearing in Nastaliq script on the obverse. Ahmad’s standard couplet is found on all his issues in this collection: Hukm shod az qadir-i-bechun ba-Ahmad badshah Sikkah zan bar sim-o-zar az auj-i-mahi ta ba-mah “Command came from God, the inscrutable, to Ahmad the King, Strike coin on silver and gold from the top of fish (depths of the sea) to the moon” Although it is believed that coins were struck at Qandahar in the first year of his reign, the earliest extant coins appear to have been issued at Lahore in 1748 (AH1161) after the flight of the Mughal governor, Shah Nawaz Khan, and Ahmad’s entry to this city in January. Lahore was later given to Ahmad’s son and successor, Taimur, to govern, so we also find coins in Taimur’s name struck at this mint from AH1170 (1756) (lots 534 & 535).

Kabul, which became the capital in 1772, also struck Durrani coins from 1748 (lot 512). Other mints were to be found at Herat, the original homeland of the Abdali dynasty, Peshawar, their winter capital on the plains, while the Indus valley had mints at Multan and Attock until overrun by the Sikhs.

Ahmad led no less than eight campaigns to India during which Shahjahanabad was occupied twice. In 1757 a daughter of Alamgir II was given to Taimur in marriage, and the search for hidden treasure was so frenetic that excavations took place under the havelis of prominent officials. He was in the area again in AH1173 (spring of 1760) and AH1174 (1761) before and after defeating the Marathas at the battle of Panipat. On both occasions Ahmad Shah reinstated the Mughal emperor, seeming happy to depart with plunder and the glory of bringing the great Mughals into submission. However he marked both occasions with an issue of coins (lots 525 - 528), the most remarkable being the Nazaranas struck in 1760 and 1761 (lot 526).

Although an agreement was signed with Shah Rukh in 1751 at Mashhad giving Ahmad Shah the right to strike coins in his own name, gold issues of this mint are only known for 1754/5 (lots 532 & 533). There are also a couple of mints striking Durrani coins to be found in present day Uttar Pradesh. Ahmadnagar-Farrukhabad was ruled by an ally of Ahmad Shah, Nawab Ahmad Khan Bangash. After fighting side by side at Panipat, the Nawab struck coins in the name of Ahmad Shah (lot 504). The Rohilla chief, Nawab Najib-ud-Daula, also formed an alliance with Ahmad Shah during his latter campaigns in the Punjab, hence the single-year issue of Najibabad, AH1180 (1767) (lot 520). Sarhind was in the hands of Ahmad on several occasions. Initially he occupied the 117

ANCIENT, BRITISH & FOREIGN COINS & COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS fort on his first Indian campaign in March 1748 and later the area was endowed to him by Alamgir II as part of the marriage alliance of 1757. In 1767 the Shah granted the government of Sarhind to Amar Singh of Patiala who struck coins the name of his overlord. In fact, Ahmad Shah’s name and couplet appear on coins of Patiala, Jind and Maler Kotla right into the 20th century.

By far the most unusual and rare mint was that used on campaign. Rikab or Rikab-i-Mubarak literally means “the august stirrup” implying that the coins were struck very much on the move at a camp mint. One gold issue is known for Ahmad Shah, dated the first day of AH1173. This collection is fortunate to have an issue of Shah Shuja (lot 607) as yet uncatalogued.

Ahmad died in 1772 leaving four sons: Sulaiman, Taimur, Sikandar and Parwez. Taimur had been chosen to succeed, but as Sulaiman was both the eldest and the son-in-law of the prime-minister, Shah Wali Khan, there was an attempt to enthrone him. This resulted in the single-year issue of coinage represented by lot 536.

Taimur Shah put down this rebellion and moved his capital to Kabul. He did not attempt to expand the empire and withdrew as much power as possible from his kinsmen the Sadozais and the other Durrani chiefs who he mistrusted. Although some marginal territories were lost, this was a prosperous time, as the many issues of Kabul, Herat, Peshawar and Qandahar attest. The couplet used on his coins was: Charkh mi-arad tala o nuqra az khurshid o mah Ta kanad bar chihra naqsh-e sekkeh-e taimur shah “The revolution (of the heavens) brings gold and silver from the sun and moon, In order that it may make on the face (of the metal) the design of the stamp of Taimur Shah” Unfortunately when Taimur Shah died in 1793 he gave no instructions as to who of his many sons should succeed him. Humayun was the eldest and he struck coins at Qandahar in 1793 which are extremely rare (lot 581). The fifth son Shah Zaman appears to have had a larger following as he succeeded in ruling for seven years between 1793 and 1801. However battles between the brothers continued throughout his reign. When he tried to retake Sindh his brother Mahmud, then governor of Herat, aided a Persian revolt in Khorasan which diverted his troops away. Mahmud finally defeated and blinded Shah Zaman in 1800. However he himself was defeated and imprisoned by another brother, Shah Shuja in 1803. In 1809 Mahmud seized power again, exiling Shuja to India, from where he returned in 1839 to rule briefly until 1842. The constant battling between the princes of this line and that of a rival Durrani tribe, the Barakzais, was to continue throughout the 19th century, but the latest coin in this collection is dated AH1223 (1808) when the Durranis were still at their height.

DECEMBER 4 & 5, 2012 - LONDON

A GOLD MOHUR OF THE FIRST SIKH OCCUPATION OF MULTAN THE PROPERTY OF AN INDIAN PRINCE The Sikhs first took Multan from the Durranis in 1772 and lost it to Taimur Shah Durrani in 1779. Rupees issued during this first occupation period have always been scarce and highly prized by collectors despite the fact they are often poorly struck. It is known that the Sikhs struck Mohurs at Multan during their second occupation, but a Mohur of the first occupation has not previously been recorded. When viewing this unique coin, struck to the same formula as the Rupees, consideration must be given to the fact it originated from the same collection as the Durrani gold Mohurs offered in lots 504-608, replete as it is with other contemporary rarities.

The Pope declined the honour, and so this medal was commissioned by Domenico Jacobacci, a Roman nobleman and Papal agent. The design, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, was published by G B Bonacina in a print dedicated to Alexander. From the inscription we learn that medals in gold, silver, and bronze were envisiged.

Mexico, Republic, 8-Escudos, 1842 MM, Mexico City, hand holding Liberty cap over book, rev. eagle on cactus (F.64; KM.383.9), uncirculated, of the highest rarity The first of only two years of this assayer at Mexico City. The 8-Escudos of the second year 1843 are not rare, but this coin of 1842 is a great rarity. While the silver coins of the assayer MM of the Mexico City mint were known to Neil Utberg, the pioneer of Mexican numismatics, the gold coins were not, and so the gold coins of these two years, 1842 MM and 1843 MM, are not listed in his ‘Coins of the Republic of Mexico and The Empire of Maximilian’ which he published in 1966. Ten years later a revised edition of this work was published by Dr. G.W. Voigt, and in this 1976 edition the 1843 MM gold coins (8-Escudos, Escudo, and HalfEscudo) have been inserted, but still not the coins of 1842 MM. This coin was missing from the Henry Norweb, the Pablo Gerber, and the Louis Eliasberg collections, and while it is now listed in the standard catalogues it still remains unpriced.

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.

3.4.4 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.

4.3

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.

4.4

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.

4.5

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.

4.6

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.

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

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)

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 Once your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally exercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date.

AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium at a rate of 20% of 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.

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.

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 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.

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 have been paid in full. This includes instances where special arrangements were made for release of Lot prior to full settlement.

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.

5.5 Invoices Invoices may consist of one or more pages and will show: Zero rated Lots (o); no symbol Lots sold under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme; Lots marked (g) special scheme Investment Gold; Daggered Lots (†), imported Lots marked (x) and (Ω), (e) Lots with Zero rated hammer for EU VAT registered buyers.

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 12027 pages:Layout 1

12/11/12

Page 232

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)

10.5.2 The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of, or in connection with, Terms and Conditions or their subject matter.

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.
