Sir Richard Ground O.B.E. (1949-2014)
Sir Richard Ground graduated from Lincoln College, Oxford in 1970, attended the Inns of Court School of Law, and was called to the Bar, in Gray’s Inn, in 1975. He was appointed Queen’s Council (Cayman Islands) in 1987, serving as Attorney General until 1992. He went on to serve as Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Bermuda 1992-1998, Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands 1998-2004, and Chief Justice, Bermuda, 2004-2012. Described as ‘patient and professional’, and praised for his judicial acumen and intellect, Sir Richard was applauded by Bermuda’s legal profession for being ‘firm but fair’ at all times. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1991 for services as Attorney General in Cayman, and was made a Knight Bachelor in 2012 for services to justice in Bermuda. Sir Richard, a keen diver and wildlife photographer, met and married his wife Dace in Cayman where she was Government’s Marine Parks Coordinator. Lady Ground went on to become the founding Executive Director of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands, and Sir Richard worked enthusiastically to ensure the success of that organisation. Sir Richard was also a keen coin collector, and coins from his collection can be found throughout this catalogue, English coins (lots 29-80), Roman and Byzantine coins (lots 683-701), and European coins (lots 1015-41). 5

PROVENANCE:
Found Upton upon Severn near Worcester, Worcestershire, February 2013 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0233 The appearance and findspot of this coin has a significance which is yet to be fully understood. Upton upon Severn was part of the original endowment given by Coenwulf to Winchcombe Abbey. Winchcombe (16 miles from Upton) was, at this time, the capital of the Kingdom of Mercia. The Abbey was founded by Coenwulf and its charter was subscribed on 11th November 811 by Cuthred, King of Kent, Sired, King of the East Saxons, Wulfred, Archbishop of Canterbury, and a total of twelve bishops and eleven dukes. Upon Coenwulf’s death in 821 he was interred within the Abbey which was also the final resting place of his son, Cynehelm, later venerated as Saint Kenelm. The practice of coin bending is most usually associated with the 13th-15th centuries. There is much evidence to support the notion that these pieces have an explicitly religious nature and were largely used as votive offerings. One other 9th century parallel is known, an imitative solidus of Louis the Pious, found in Wiltshire, cf P.A.S. (WILT-A50F43). The current specimen, deliberately folded on all four sides and discovered on land belonging to Coenwulf’s own religious house could feasibly have a direct association with the endowment of the land to Winchcombe Abbey or possibly the foundation of the Abbey itself. More research needs to be undertaken but seldom can an artefact of such age have such a direct association with the King whose name it bears.

It is up for speculation as to whether the die was prepared at London and subsequently sent to Rochester or whether the moneyer moved from Rochester to strike at London. Of course other scenarios are also possible. A variant struck at London with the Roman inspired laureate bust (cf Naismith L18.1a/b/L19.2a) is known so it is more than feasible that this variant is directly related. See also the Pada type Thrymsas for other examples of this helmeted bust inspired by a Roman prototype. WWW.SPinK.Com

Christie’s, 10-11 October 1989, lot 458, the first lot of 17 pieces stated in the sales catalogue as emanating from the Cuerdale hoard (£9,500) Stonyhurst College collection, from a Cuerdale parcel acquired by the college c.1840s? Cuerdale (Lancashire) hoard, discovered 15 May 1840 on the south bank of the River Ribble The two types listed under Ceolwulf II of Mercia are both of great numismatic interest. Both types were also struck by Alfred of Wessex, the first of which copies the reverse of a fourth century solidus. In addition to Mercia and Wessex, the cross and lozenge type was also struck in Kent and also the Danelaw. Surviving specimens of Ceolwulf amounted to nine when Dolley penned his 1963 BNJ article on ‘An unpublished hoard-provenance for a penny of Ceolwulf II of Mercia’ and of these nine, five were in museum collections (four in the British Museum and one in the Hunterian). Since the onset of metal detecting other pieces have surfaced but in very low numbers. The current piece is, without doubt, one of the finest specimens, as well as having a superb 174 year old provenance.

£300-500
The representation of Stigmata appears to be unknown in the domestic late Anglo-Saxon coinage. This moneyer also struck the Benediction hand type at London which also shows a similar cross struck on the sleeve of the manus dei. However, there are similar examples known in the contemporary Danish coinage which clearly show the cross struck on the hand. With the movement of dies known to have occurred between England and Scandinavia, it is feasible that this seemingly official obverse die could have ben paired with a fabricated reverse die and struck on the continent.

£800-1,200
This piece was originally attributed to the mint of Dereham, Norfolk by the Duke of Argyll. Although this mint has since been discredited, the coin does display several anomalous factors, i.e. blundered regnal title, hand-etched cross ends, crude reverse legend, and, of course, the mint signature DIRIII. The cataloguer felt it necessary to discount Dernt/Dyr as a possible attribution as the mint signature could be read as DIRYN under magnification, the type would correspond with known specimens, and a Leofwine struck both at Norwich and Thetford mints during this type. In addition, there is a small pellet in the left cross terminal as seen in this type at Norwich. Die duplicates do, however, exist with the mint signature clearly reading DIRBI and are thus given to Derby. PROVENANCE:

231
£3,000-4,000
PROVENANCE:
Found near Northampton, Northamptonshire, 2014 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0234 Boon p.41 notes that the obverse spelling of STIEN may be based on the Norman French ESTIEN for Stephen. Another French influence noted by Peter Seaby is the lozenge sceptre which is also seen on the seal of Louis VII (1137-80) as well as two of his successors. Boon adds; ‘On the English coin it may have reminded people that not only had Stephen done homage to the French king (then Louis VI) for Normandy as a fief of the French Crown, but had married his son Eustace to Louis VII’s own sister.’. It is unusual that a locally circulated coin such as this should appear so far south of York. The majority of the findspots for the ornamented group are in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Bt. Spink, November 1947 Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The bust of the king shows imporvement on that of the Shrewsbury triple unite, although new puncheons have not been cut. Owing to the lack of a skilful engraver at Shrewsbury, it was impossible to cut a single large puncheon for the king’s bust. Separate puncheons were used, therefore, for the head, the body, the sword, and the palm branch. It was not until the arrival of London workmen in 1643 that a single puncheon could be cut for the king’s bust.’

St James’, 30 September 2010, lot 53 Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The old Shrewsbury puncheons were set in a new die with a slightly smaller field, 32mm. The bust has been much better placed and shows a great improvement on the Shrewsbury pattern. It was used with the same reverses as Obverse I, and therefore probably overlapped with it for part of this period of three months. It was also used with one of the reverses of 1643.’

Bound in later full calf with five raised bands, rebacked with title label laid on. Page edges sometime gilt but now rather dull. Undated manuscript note to first free leaf possibly in the hand of Rogers Ruding whose armorial bookplate graces the front endpaper together with the bookplate of John Trotter Brockett F.S.A., both of them were noted numismatists and antiquaries. The binding is rather scuffed and the corners worn but very solid and still attractive, internally a fine and clean copy. (76), 798 pp. (As usual with the typopgraphical errors: pp. 139, 234, 267,353, 685, 768 are numbered as 339, 202, 263, 343, 645, 778. These errors are to be found in all published copies. See Dekesel B160). A scarce copy of this first edition of one of the earliest - and most important - works on coinage, dealing with weights and measures, as well as the value and devaluation of money. Apart from the seminal original contribution of Budel, this extensive work contains 29 contributions by earlier philosophers and theologians on the subject. De Monetis et re numaria remained the standard work on the subject for almost two centuries. Budel (1530-91), was a practitioner, a jurist by training, who worked as diplomat for the archbishop of Cologne, and later as mint-master in Westphalia for the duke of Bavaria.

Very scarce, and still an important record of a wonderful, and perhaps the finest of all collections of medieval coins many now in the Danish National collection in Copenhagen. From the library of Richard Cyril Lockett, with his distinctive and attractive engraved book plate on the first pastedown of all three volumes. Thomsen died in May 1865. The coin collection, except for the medieval portion, had been dispersed in a series of public auctions, however, the medieval coins were purchased by direct treaty by some wealthy Danes, who then donated it to the Royal Coin Cabinet in Copenhagen. It was the wish of Thomsen who spent many years working on the coins at the Cabinet that there should be a catalogue of his complete collection. This is that catalogue. [3]

The old (undated) hand written note that accompanies this coin has some curiosity value. “The Portuguese Gold Coin, which you bought from Mr Emil Pingold, is one of a number found amongst others in a small bag dug up in Hayti a few years ago & supposed to have been buried there about 1795 when Hayti commenced her struggle for independence from French rule. This specimen, from what I can gather, is variously styled, a Five Milreis Gold Piece, a half Peça, Half Dubloon, Nine Dollars & sometimes a Joey. Dealers say that the value of the gold is 36/- On one side is the Arms of Portugal (Algarve) surmounted by the Royal Crown, - on the obverse the head of the King + date together with the legend ‘...D.G. Port. et Alg. Rex.’- The edge looks as if double milled, but, examined under a magnifying glass, will be found to be laurel leaves in bud.” J.P. x1055

A COLLECTION OF MEXICO CITY PILLAR DOLLARS FORMED IN THE 1960’S - THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN
1143
1143 (x1.5) 1143
Mexico, Philip V (1700-46), 8-Reales, 1733 MF, Mexico City mint mark M.X, crowned shield dividing assayer’s initials MF and value 8, dot above MF, rev. crowned globes between crowned pillars (Cal.739-RRR; KM.103; Y.591), cleaned, small metal flaw at A of HISPAN, good very fine, extremely rare The mint mark M.X was used for Mexico City in 1733 only. There are three variations, the overdate 1733 over 32 with assayer’s initial F (for Francisco de la Pena y Flores), and the regular date 1733, with F, and with two assayers’ initials MF (when he was joined by Manuel de Léon). They are all extremely rare. The Norweb collection, sold by Spink in conjunction with Christie’s in Dallas in two auctions in May and November 1985, contained six 1733 8-Reales including all three varieties with M.X mintmark. Mrs Norweb’s 1733 MF M.X (17 May 1985, lot 174) was graded good very fine and realised $17,600. Significantly, this was twice as much as the 1733 M.X with initial F only (lot 173), which was also graded good very fine and sold for $8,250. The Alexander Patterson collection of Pillar Coinage, sold at Bonhams in London, 16-17 July 1996, contained eight 1733 8-Reales, and again included all three varieties with the M.X mintmark. Mr Patterson’s 1733 MF, lot 10, was described as ‘good very fine, and probably superior to the Norweb specimen.’ It realised £14,300 ($22,165). Again this contrasts with the price realised for the 1733 F, lot 8 in the same sale, also graded good very fine, which sold for £7,920 ($11,710). The other great collection of Mexican coins to be dispersed in the last thirty years, the Pablo Gerber Senior collection, was sold at Spink in New York in 1995 and 1996. There were four 1733 8-Reales in this collection, one with mint mark M.X, but Pablo Gerber’s M.X was a 1733 F, and he did not have a 1733 MF, reinforcing the point made in the Norweb and Patterson sales that the 1733 MF is rarer than the 1733 F. The Siegfried von Schuckmann collection of 8-Reales sold by Renaissance Auctions, 13 December 2001, contained a 1733 F, but again no 1733 MF. Other 1733 M.X. 8-Reales have appeared at auction during the last decade. In the Goldberg ‘Millenia Collection’ a 1733 F graded NGC MS63 sold for $42,250. Sea salvage coins have appeared in Sedwick auctions, from the ‘Coffin Patch’ and the ‘San Jose’ sites of the 1733 Fleet. Again these have all been 1733 F. Significantly, the Krause catalogue records the price for the 1733 F (quoting the Patterson example) but does not give a value for the 1733 MF. WWW.SPinK.Com

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT
3
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.
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. 3.4.4 We will not 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.
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.
3.4.5 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.
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 and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. 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.
3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence. 4
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. If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink. 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.
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. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters. 3.3
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
Extensions – Stamps only 3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of 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.

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 on www.spink.com and Spink Live 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. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.
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
5.2
5.3
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. 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 4.14.1 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. 4.14.2 No lot may be returned on account of condition if the condition was stated by a third party grading company (including, but not limited to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PMG, WBG). 5
AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium and other charges 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, a fee of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a surcharge for paying by credit card.
July/14
5.4
Value Added Tax Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) VAT is chargeable on the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium of daggered (†) and (Ω) lots at the standard rate (currently 20%), and on lots marked (x) at the reduced rate (currently 5% on the Hammer price and 20% on the Buyer’s premium). VAT on Margin scheme lots (identified by the absence of any VAT symbol next to the lot number) is payable at 20% on the Buyer’s premium only. 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 on 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. Payment 5.4.1 You must provide us with your full name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which any payments to us will be made. 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 note that the processing charges for payments made by cheques or bank drafts drawn on a non-U.K bank shall be met by you. 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.

Buyers will be required to pay for their lots when they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within 7 days of the date of the sale, unless prior arrangements have been made with Spink. Without prior agreement, lots will not be released until cleared funds are received with regard to payments made by cheque. 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. 5.8.3 If the Buyer requires delivery of the Lot to an address other than the invoice address this will be carried out at the discretion of Spink. 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; 5.10.1.3 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;
July/14
5.10.2.3 when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or 5.10.2.4 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit. 5.10.3 If you fail to collect within fourteen days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required 5.10.3.1 to pay a storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply. 5.10.3.2 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. 5.11 Uses of default information If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions: 5.11.1 We reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have been settled; and 5.11.2 You consent to us disclosing details of such default to other auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default. Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the default may rely on such information when deciding whether to enter into a transaction with you in the future. 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 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. 5.13.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such evidence. 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.

Shipments of more than 2kg or volumetric measurement of more than 2kg have to be sent by courier. Certain countries may incur extra charge when courier services are required by our insurance policy. For lots sent by courier please contact Auctionteam@spink.com for calculation of any further relevant cost in addition to the above charges. 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 VAT 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 UK VAT–registered businesses, the VAT on 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 will be added to 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.
Imported and Omega Lots Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% on the Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported 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.
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 outside of the EU.
