Abbasid, temp. al-Mamun (810-833), ¿ Dinar, reform type, 3.86g, Madinat al-Salam, AH210, double marginal legend on obverse (SICA. vol.3 1783 [Shamma 4458], Bernardi 116Jh; A.222A.2), a little surface damage, good fine and of the highest rarity

£2,000-3,000

The monetary reform of al-Ma’mun saw the introduction of a double marginal legend on the obverse of gold Dinars.Until recently it was thought that the mint name first appeared in the inner legend in AH212, although mintless coins with dates 206 - 211 are recorded. One other coin of this type is listed by Nicol in the Ashmolean collection, and this appears to be a die match. Neither coin has the appearance of a special issue or trial peice which would suggest that at the mint of Madinat al-Salam the practice of including both mint and date in the inscriptions commenced earlier than previously believed.

TBC During the later middle ages The Witham valley, an area which stretched between Lincoln and Boston, was developed with the highest concentration of Christian abbeys and monastic foundations in England. It is, therefore, perhaps not too surprising that evidence of trade with and/or pilgrimage to the large continenal monastic houses would appear in this area.

£500-700

PROVENANCE: Found Great Sturton, Lincolnshire, 2015

Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, ref. EMC 2015.0058 This piece serves as an intriguing insight into the cultural and religious contexts of the Danelaw in the first half of the 10th century. The fusing of Christian and Pagan imagery on the contemporary coinage conveys how the Scandinavian settlers amalgamated different beliefs. In that context the current piece can be seen; the bending and deposition of a penny in an overtly religious act as a votive offering. Any precipitating factors for the deposition are lost to antiquity but it may have been to give thanks for victory in battle or perhaps in the hope of achieving a healthy crop.

Found Caistor, Lincolnshire, 2015 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, ref. EMC 2015.0235 Recorded with the British Museum, ref. LIN-862A30 Such northerly findspots for coins of Ecgberht of Wessex are uncommon. However, it is documented that a battle took place at Caistor between Ecgberht and Wiglaf, King of Mercia in 827. Ecgberht prevailed as victor and allowed Wiglaf to reascend his throne after paying homage to the Wessexian king. It is tempting to speculate that this piece found its way to Caistor in the pocket of one of Ecgberht’s retainers 61

REGN/VLF M, divided by three cross pattée, crude rosettes above and below (CTCE p.128, No 216; N.691; S.1105), a field find with contact marks, cracked along REGN and with perforation on left cross, the obverse somewhat bright, possibly due to an attempt to remove verdigris of which some remains, this piece well legible throughout, centred, full, and perfectly round, good very fine

£250-350

Aethelred II (978-1016), Penny, 1.58g, Crux type, Exeter, Aelfstan, draped bust left, sceptre before, rev. +AELFSTAN M-O EAXE, voided short cross, a letter of CRVX in angles (Brettell 16/18; N.770; S.1148), pecks, bust slightly weak and with small area of flan stress above sceptre, this piece centrally struck on a large flan, lightly toned and some mint bloom, good very fine, the reverse sharp

£200-300

Stewartby notes in ‘The Exeter Mint and its Moneyers’, cf. Brettell collection, Glens, 28 October 1970, p.18, that Aelfstan is a name that occurs at Exeter, Lydford, and Totnes. The movement of ‘travelling’ moneyers between mints was particularly prevalent in the west during Aethelred’s reign and so it is possible that this is one and the same moneyer.

An imitation of Cnut’s English coinage from his territories in Denmark

Denmark, Cnut (1018-35), Penny, 1.06g, Quatrefoil type imitation, Huntingdon, Eadnoth, +ARN+ELTNOVN, locally cut crowned bust left with sloping crown, a pellet either side in field, rev. +ERÐNOR MO HVN, long cross voided on quatrefoil with pellets on cusps, (SCBI 15 Copenhagen, No 4262-3; Hauberg 3 var; N.781 var; S.1157 var), hints of double-striking in remote areas and a lighter tone to the obverse but basically as struck with a pleasing naive style bust, nearly extremely fine and a most interesting issue of Cnut from his Scandinavian territories

£800-1,200

This Danish issue of Cnut is stylistically linked to an earlier striking with the legend CNVT REX DAENOR (Cnut, King of Denmark). Within the larger series Malmer notes in ‘King Canute’s Coinage in the Northern Countries’ (UCL, 1972), p.15 that Huntingdon is a recognised English mint signature utilized in the imitative contemporary coinage of Denmark. It is highly likely that the model for this coin was a Huntingdon mint Quatrefoil type, moneyer Eadnoth with a ‘Lincoln’ style bust, cf.

Blackburn & Lyon York ‘e’ style dies with Torksey mint signature employed in Southern Scandinavia

Cnut (1016-35), Penny, 1.32g, Quatrefoil type, Torksey, Thorcetel, +CNVT REX ANGLORVM:., crowned bust left within quatrefoil, rev. +ÐVRCETEL O TOR, long cross voided on quatrefoil with pellets on cusps, (Blackburn & Lyon York ‘e/main group’ style - reverse copula rendered as ‘o’ known to B&L at York; SCBI 15 Copenhagen, No 3880 - same dies; N.781; S.1157), pecks and with areas of weak striking but a full piece with a well-presented and archetypal North-Eastern style portrait, lightly toned and the Torksey mint signature on this fully legible, nearly very fine and an excessively rare Scandinavian striking from ‘English’ dies Scholars such as Blackburn, Dolley and Malmer have long argued that dies were removed from English mints and employed abroad. It is well documented that dies from the York mint were taken to Dublin and vice versa. Indeed dies from Watchet, Worcester and Chester were also known to have been taken to the Irish sea port. However, taking York as a case in point, evidence shows that irons cut at this die-cutting centre were removed and utilised in southern Scandinavia. Blackburn & Lyon (1986) elucidate; ‘A number of dies used in Scandinavia were official English ones which had been transported from mints or die-cutting centres in eastern England. They include dies of York, Lincoln, Thetford, and London styles, and the Lincoln die-cutter even produced special dies with Cnut’s Danish title.’. During Cnut’s reign dies intended for use at the Lincolnshire mint of Torksey were cut at both the York and Lincoln centres. However, due to the predominance of Scandinavian finds, certain die-links, and variations in weight, it appears that the York-cut dies intended for the Torksey mint were never utilised there. In an article entitled ‘Some Scandinavian coins in the name of Aethelred, Cnut, and Harthacnut’ (BNJ1960-61) Michael Dolley noted multiple die links involving this solitary pair of York-cut dies of Torksey with other dies of undoubtable Scandinavian origin. Therefore, these dies, originally intended for the Torksey mint and of archetypal York style and epigraphy continued to be used indiscriminately after becoming separated.

Only a handful of specimens were struck from this single pair of dies before they were dispersed and thus they are excessively rare to the market. Indeed the insight into travelling die-cutters in the North East of England during Cnut’s reign, as provided by these coins, is remarkably valuable to the numismatist and academic alike.

The Angevin party (1139-48), Penny, 0.90g, Anonymous issue in the name of King Henry I, west country mint, possibly Hereford, Willelm?, naive style bust right with broad double diadem in place of crown, sceptre before, legend beginning above fleur of sceptre, [H]ENRI[CVS REX], rev. WEL[...], quadrilateral on cross fleury as Henry I Type XV (BMC 279; Mack BNJ 35 1966, no.253; cf. Ruding Supp. II, pl II, 11; N.940/2; S.1329), a base and brittle piece as per normal for Angevin issues, unfortunately plough-damaged resulting in flan loss at 6 o’clock and flan split at 9 o’clock, whereas the piece is entirely attributable to the anonymous anarchical coinages, nearly very fine for issue, very rare and an issue which represents the zeitgeist of the period well PROVENANCE: Found Buckland, Buckinghamshire, 15 September 2005

Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, ref. EMC 2007.0061 Recorded with the British Museum, ref. BUC-58EC12 BNJ Coin Register 2008, Pl.XXII, No 330 This piece is an obverse die duplicate of the anonymous ‘Henricus’ penny in Spink sale 227, December 2014, lot 529. The cataloguer was able to discern in the reverse legend N : H and postulated the legend [O]N : H[EREF?]. There are Anarchical issues of Hereford known in the name of Henry and with the quadrilateral on cross fleury reverse such as Mack 248-9.

Mack 241 (also published in SCBI 30 America, No 801), however, is of crude BMC I style and signed WILLEL[M ON]: HEREFORD. The current piece with reverse legend WEL could well be a slightly blundered version of the same moneyer and when combined with the visible legend on lot 529 of the September 2014 sale one can postulate the legend WEL[LELM:O]N:H[ER...] or a version thereof. Once again we require futher specimens to elucidate matters on this mysterious issue.

Edward III (1327-77), Third ‘Florin’ coinage, first period, 27 January - July 1344, Halfflorin or Helm, 1.75g, partially-draped helm surmounted by a cap of maintenance and crowned lion left, dispersed fleur-de-lis in field, bordered by a wire-line inner circle, EDWR’ R’ ANGL’ Z FRANC’ D’ HIB’, annulet before legend, annulet stops and none, rev. +EXALTABITVR IN GLORIA, double-annulet stops, floriate cross with quatrefoil and pellet at centre, all within wire-line inner circle (Doubleday:- Schneider:- Stewartby p.196; N.1107; S.1478), a field find with resulting scuffs, portion of peripheral flan beneath helm formerly displaced and now skilfully placed back in situ, perforations and metal stress still evident in this area, whereas the piece now appearing full and well-rounded, a carefully and centrally-struck example with a very neat style, the all-important obverse devices in good relief, generally good very fine, excessively rare and a piece of national importance PROVENANCE:

Found Colyton, Devon, April 2015 Recorded with the British Museum, ref. FASAM-638757 In ‘English Coins 1180-1551’ (2009) Lord Stewartby comments on Edward III’s Florin gold as being; ‘...among the most attractive of any in the whole of English coinage.’. This experimental issue was conceived and executed during the ‘high summer’ of gothic art. The coinage was a worthy medium for conveying this artistic vibrancy and the skills innately required in its production. Using continental gold issues for inspiration and utilising aspects of Edward’s III’s own great seal the designs are imbued with Edward’s desire to stake his claim to the French throne. Here we see the first instance whereby the French royal title is assumed on the obverse of a British coin. Surrounding the helm and dappling the fields are fleur-de-lis, an allusion to Edward’s French lineage through his mother, Isabella of France. It was here at the outset of the Hundred Years War in the context of disputed lines of succession and with King Edward’s claim to the French crown that the rest of British late medieval history was to be shaped. This new specimen of the Florin coinage Helm, one of just two examples available to private collections now raises the known specimens to five. A highly important piece for which production lasted just six months between January and July 1344 and for which a parallel has not since been seen in the British coinage.

In the process of sinking the obverse die the face punch has been placed approximately 1 millimetre above the drapery punch. There is a conspicuous gap to be seen between the two constituent parts of the King’s bust resulting in the effect of seeming disjointed. This is a rare insight into and reminder of the process by which the dies are produced and illustrates well how seemingly uniform designs may in fact be composed of distinct punches.

£100-200

A likely explanation for the heavy wear concentrated on the Queen’s portrait is that this coin was used as a touch piece in antiquity.

(S.5084 var.), a field find with earthy deposit in recesses, very small striking split at one o’clock which turns into delamination along length of long cross, struck on a broad flan for this denomination with the obverse appearing full and pleasingly round, the portrait particularly well defined, very fine and possibly a new variety of reverse die with the star in second quarter

£1,000-1,500

PROVENANCE:

Found near Ampthill, Bedfordshire, c.2010 It is difficult to ascertain if the reverse star was punched into the die or if it is a mullet infilled with excess metal. Close inspection reveals some die clogging around the initial cross but none in the field of the relevant quarter. The surface of the star appears smooth as if deliberate but this may be a result of wear through circulation. If deliberate this privy mark is without precedence and would be a new variety of first coinage farthing 442

I request Spink, without legal obligations of any kind on its part, to bid on the following Lots up to the price given below. I understand that if my bid is successful the Purchase Price will be the sum of the final bid and Buyer’s premium as a percentage of the final bid, any VAT chargeable, also a fee for bidding on the-saleroom.com only and fee for paying by credit card. The Rate of Premium is 20% of the final hammer price of each lot. I understand Spink will pursue me for payment for any successful bid.

In addition, I understand and consent that Spink may share my personal details relating to the default with other auction houses and live bidding platforms to protect themselves from such defaults.

All bids shall be treated as offers made on the Terms and Conditions for Buyers printed in the catalogue. I also understand that Spink provides the service of executing bids on behalf of clients for the convenience of clients and that Spink will not be held responsible for failing to execute bids. If identical commission bids are received for the same Lot, the commission bid received first by Spink will take precedence. Please note that you will not be notified if there are higher written bids received.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink and Son Limited of 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury London WC1B 4ET (company no. 04369748)) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully.

Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling); Hammer Price means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot; Lot means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any Lot number in any catalogue; Reserve the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold; Seller means the owner of the Lot being sold by us; Spink Group Spink and Son Limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies.

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1

2.2 3

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 fee 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 fee of 2% will be applied. Payments made by American Express are subject to a 4% fee. 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 specifically agreed to the contrary, we shall retain lots purchased until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been paid in full. 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;

5.5

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.

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.
