70 70 Presidential Medal of Freedom - First Design Prototype. 54 x 66mm (to top of wreath). Flat gilt base metal and enamels. Central blue enameled medallion with a constellation of 13 white stars, outer golden border, on a white enameled star on a plaque with an early Federal eagle in each angle and beribboned oak wreath at top. On large blue bow ribbon adorned across its central areas with white stars. The Presidential Medal of Freedom, along with the Congressional Gold Medal, is the highest civilian award of the U.S. and recognizes individuals who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interest of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors”. Executive Order 11085 by President John F. Kennedy in 1963 established the Presidential Medal of Freedom to replace the earlier Medal of Freedom established by President Truman in 1945. A contract was given to the Medallic Art Company of New York to prepare a medal, while the ribbon was to be prepared by Baily Mills. The First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, though, appears to have changed her mind when she saw the final product (of what would be the “First Design”). She had her New York jeweler David Webb make significant changes, resulting in the current design. The medium-sized Federal eagles, which she found “warlike” were replaced by more pacific and larger eagles, which were placed on red pedestals to introduce that color into the design. The center star seal was made less prominent and the oak wreath was eliminated. It is uncertain whether this is an original prototype used in 1963 or a slightly later reissue. Very rare and Choice. Accompanied by a reprint of Ronald E. Fischer’s article on the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ex Evans Kerrigan Collection. $750-1,500

An Important piece of Fractional Currency History: Clark’s Presentation Book & Proofs

79 Fractional Currency Presentation Book of Spencer M. Clark, First Superintendent of the National Currency Bureau (predecessor of the BEP). In May of 1866 a number of Fractional Currency “Presentation Books” (perhaps sixteen in total) were given to President Andrew Johnson, his cabinet members and several congressmen. Two of these presentation books are reported to have Spencer Clark’s name on the covers. All known presentation books originally consisted of thirty-one different examples, and this one is no exception. Each of the thirty-one notes is a Proof, on special paper; all backs are blank, and none of the notes have overprints. Spencer M. Clark was given the responsibility for producing Fractional Currency notes, and he successfully accomplished this task, but he made some controversial decisions that infuriated many members of Congress. He had his own portrait placed on the Third Issue 5 Cent notes, and F. E. Spinner’s portrait placed on Third Issue 50 Cent Notes. This resulted in Congress passing a law forbidding the image of any living person to appear on U.S. coins and currency, but what was done was done; Clark and Spinner’s portraits circulated widely throughout the entire country. The following notes are included: First Issue 5 Cents front; First Issue 5 Cents back; First Issue 10 Cents front; First Issue 10 Cents back, no monogram, wide margins, minor foxing; First Issue 25 cents front; First Issue 25 Cents back, monogram, wide margin; First Issue 50 Cents front; First Issue 50 Cents back, no monogram, wide margin, foxed; Second Issue 5 Cents front; Second Issue 5 Cents back; Second Issue 10 Cents front; Second Issue 10 Cents back; Second Issue 25 Cents front; Second Issue 25 Cents back; Second Issue 50 Cents front; Second Issue 50 Cents back; Third Issue 3 Cents light curtain front; Third Issue 3 cents back; Third Issue 5 Cents front (with S. M. Spencer’s portrait); Third Issue 5 Cents red back; Third Issue 5 Cents green back; Third Issue 10 Cents front; Third Issue 10 Cents red back; Third Issue 10 Cents green back; Third Issue 25 Cents front; Third Issue 25 Cents green back, foxed; Third Issue 25 Cents red back; Third Issue 50 Cents Justice front; Third Issue 50 Cents Spinner front, very minor foxing; Third Issue 50 Cents green Type 1 back, moderate foxing; Third Issue 50 Cents red Type 1 back. The front cover of the presentation album bears S. M. Clark’s name in gold. The spine states “UNITED STATES fractional CURRENCY.” The covers are original, but the book appears to have been rebound, with some cover restoration evident. All of the notes are quite nice with the exception of a few foxed examples mentioned above. The custom made box containing the presentation book is not original, but it is very handsome. Similar presentation books in pristine condition have realized $20,000 or more at auction. Clark’s intimate connection with the production of Fractional Currency adds obvious value to the Proof notes, but the overall condition of the book must be taken into account when determining the auction estimate. Viewing in person is advised. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a major piece of Fractional Currency history. $10,000-20,000 WWW.SPINK.COM

S. Note is herewith returned you. - It is a very dangerous affair, and I hope you will be able to arrest the fellows who are engaged in the issuing of them. Very respectfully yours F. E. Spinner Tr. U.S.” Spinner was Treasurer of the United States from 1861 to 1875. His likeness appeared on the 50 Cent Fractional Currency notes, and his signature, which appeared on much of the United States paper money during the Civil War was perhaps the most widely recognizable autograph in America for decades. Spinner was the first to suggest the employment of women in government offices. Also included is a counterfeit 1862 $100 Legal Tender, Fine, punch cancelled.

Engravings & Vignettes Scrapbooks of Engravings, Etchings and Vignettes from the Personal Library of George W. Casilear. The Casilears were one of America’s first families of security engravers. As early as 1826, John W, Casilear (George W. Casilear’s uncle) was an apprentice for Peter Maverick, and he later studied painting under Asher Durand. In 1832 John and his brother formed a banknote engraving firm, which later resulted in the formation of Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Company. George W. Casilear, born 1825, worked for Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Company, and later for the BEP. He eventually became Superintendent of Engraving. He retired in 1893. The items described in the next five lots contain engravings, etchings and vignettes that George W. Casilear personally collected and retained in his library. Students of banknote engraving will recognize the strong influence that these scrapbooks probably had Casilear. 82 “Engravings” from the Library of George W. Casilear.

Gothic cruciform cross - shallow and “stretched” from striking error; the legends neatly flowing around curved edge of the raised cap walls. S.3893, KM 746.2. A die cap occurs when a coin in the minting process sticks to the die through many strikes. As a result the metal flows up around the die with the coin taking on the shape of a bottle cap. They are among the most colorful and desirable of mint errors, and the coin here is an exceptional example. It is hard to imagine how such a notable error could have escaped the Royal Mint. The most probable explanation would be that it was kept as a souvenir by a mint official or foreman. Some obverse hairlines. Pearly silver with soft russet highlights. Uncirculated.

Very Rare and Important 1876 Mauritius Medal in Gold

271 Great Britain, Mauritius Medal, 1876. Gold, 43mm. 2 ozt. Mauritius coat of arms center; rev. ‘For Heroic Conduct of the Captain, Officers, & Crew of the American Barque “Young Phoenix” in the Rescue of the Survivors from the Ship “Strathmore” Wrecked on the Crozet Islands 1875.’ Edge: ‘MR F.C. SWAIN, CHIEF OFFICER’. On April 17th, 1875, the Strathmore, a three-masted, fully-rigged British trading vessel, set sail from London bound for New Zealand with a total of 50 passengers, 38 crew members, and approximately 20,000 tons of gunpowder. The ship sailed south past the African continent and around the Cape of Good Hope, before setting a course directly east through the southern Indian Ocean. In the wee hours of July 1st, amid dark and foggy weather, the Strathmore, struck a rock near the Crozet Islands, a small archipelago in the Southern Indian Ocean nearly equidistant between South Africa and Antarctica. Robert Wilson, a passenger on the Strathmore, in his diary described this most tumultuous ordeal as follows: “July 1. Aroused from a sound sleep about a quarter to four this morning by the cry of ‘beakers right ahead,’ ‘hard a star-board,’ dressed as quickly as possible and went on deck;’’ all was darkness. and confusion, made my way aft, and heard the captain say, “There is no hope, we are all lost, we are all lost”. Only 49 of the 88 individuals on board made it ashore. They spent the next three days salvaging cargo from the wreck until the ship was fully submerged, as well as constructing a signal tower to hopefully draw the attention of any passing ships. The weather was bitterly cold, with 2-3 inches of snow already on the ground when they landed. One man died their very first night on shore due to exposure. Vegetation of any kind was scarce, with the castaways surviving those first few months hunting albatross and gathering moss and lichens which they would flavor with gunpowder salvaged from the wreckage. Two other passengers died of dysentery and lockjaw respectively in the following months. In September, the condition of the survivors drastically improved with the appearance of penguins which arrived on the island in droves. Robert Wilson described the phenomenon this way: “September 20. - The first penguin landed and was killed this day. September 27. - During the past week the penguins have been landing in thousands. - I might say in millions with truth. No scarcity of food now. October 14. - Collecting thousands of penguin eggs before they go bad, but, owing to the prevalent inclement weather, we have left thousands to be hatched.” Even with a steady food source and somewhat milder weather, two more passengers perished in December, one being a three-year old boy. Finally on January 21st, 1876, after nearly seven months shipwrecked, the passengers spotted a ship sailing towards them, the signal tower evidently having done its job. The ship proved to be an American whaler, the Young Phoenix, from New Bedford, Massachusetts. The barque dropped anchor and a team of sailors boarded lifeboats and rowed toward the island to greet the castaways. After some deliberation over concerns about the size of the group of shipwrecked passengers, the captain and crew of the Young Phoenix, allowed all 44 survivors to embark on the ship which was bound for Mauritius. While at open sea, 20 passengers were transferred to the Sierra Morena, a British trading vessel bound for Karachi, India as there was not enough provisions on the Young Phoenix, with 44 extra individuals on board. These 20 were dropped off at Pointe de Galle, Ceylon in February 1876 with some eventually returning to England and others travelling to Sydney, Australia. The rest of the 24 passengers still on board the Young Phoenix were dropped off in Mauritius in February 1876, and ultimately reached Auckland, New Zealand later that same year. It is unknown how many of these medals were struck. There are at least 2 bronze medals known to exist, one of which is at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, UK, and this one struck in gold. It likely is safe to assume that there is also at least one other medal struck in gold, which would have been given to the Captain of the Young Phoenix. This medal offered here is a ‘must have’ for any advanced collection of Lifesaving Medals. Housed in its original presentation box by Wyon, the famous family of medalists from London. Uncirculated, with a small area of light discoloration on the obverse. The reverse, as expected, shows some reflectivity due to this side of the medal laying against the velvet interior of the box.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS The following terms and conditions set forth the scope of your contract with Spink USA Inc (“Spink”), by which Spink contracts with you either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if Spink is the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully. 1 DEFINITIONS 1.1 The following definitions apply to these terms and conditions: Auction Agent, Auctioneer, Spink, us or we means Spink USA Inc; Bidder and you means a person making, attempting to make or considering making a bid for a Lot including a Buyer; Buyer means the person who makes the highest bid for a Lot which is accepted by the Auctioneer and, if the person is acting as an agent, will be a reference to the agent’s principal only if Auction Agent has accepted the agency in writing; Buyer’s Premium means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; Certificate of Authenticity means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot; Commission Bid means an instruction from a Bidder to us to bid on their behalf at the Auction; Expert Committee means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity in accordance with clause 3.4.3; Forgery means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. 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; Purchase Price means the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s premium and New York State and City tax, where applicable; Reserve means 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 means Spink and Son Limited, its subsidiaries and associated companies. 1.2 By making a bid, Bidder acknowledges acceptance of these terms and conditions and agrees to be bound by them. 2 SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1 This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by Spink, which is a licensed and bonded auctioneer.

3.3 Your Responsibility 3.3.1 You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.

2.2 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 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 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly.

2.3 The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller. 3 BEFORE THE SALE 3.1 Examination of Goods 3.1.1 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 5.10 of these Terms and Conditions. 3.1.2 All Bidders who have inspected the Lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of genuineness. It is presumed that all Floor Bidders have inspected the Lots prior to bidding. Therefore, Lots purchased by Floor Bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned. Floor Bidders include those Bidders acting as agents for others. 3.1.3 Spink reserves the right to refuse to honour or reject any bid which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory references, as Spink, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Spink further reserves the right to ban any Bidder from participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate. 3.2 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, centering, 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.

3.4.2 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. 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. 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. 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 seven (7) days after you receive such correspondence.

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.

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.

3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.10, 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.

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

Sale 322 bonds.qxp_Layout 1 28/08/2015 11:30 Page 150

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 4.4.1 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 twenty-four 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 making (or failing to make) a Commission Bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding. If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot, the Bid received first by us shall take precedence. 4.4.2. For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address, contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your Commission Bid. 4.4.3 If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either us or our agent or you) in relation to your bid. All bids made in this way must be confirmed in writing by you before the Auction. 4.4.4 Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. 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% of the Hammer Price added to their invoice for using this facility. 4.6 Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than twenty-four 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 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. 4.8 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 $100 to $300 $300 to $750 $750 to $1,500 $1,500 to $3,000 $3,000 to $7,500 $7,500 to $15,000 $15,000 to $30,000 $30,000 to $75,000 $75,000 to $150,000 $150,000 to $300,000 $300,000 and up

by $5 by $10 by $25 by $50 by $100 by $250 by $500 by $1,000 by $2,500 by $5,000 by $10,000 Auctioneer’s discretion

4.9 Bidding by Spink 4.9.1 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. 4.9.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal. 4.9.3 Spink reserves the right to bid on any Lot in the sale. Additionally, Spink may or may not have financial interest in any of the Lot(s) in the sale. 4.10 The Auctioneer’s Discretion 4.10.1 The Auctioneer has the right, to be exercised in good faith, to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, and to combine any two or more Lots. Bidding shall be regulated by the Auctioneer. 4.10.2 The Auctioneer may reopen the bidding on a Lot under the following circumstances: (a) the Auctioneer has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) a party purchasing the Lot on the floor has done so in error; (c) where a protest is made after the hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced on the next Lot; (d) where the Auctioneer has determined that he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the Lot but before the calling of the next Lot or (e) to effectuate a fair and reasonable resolution of any error or dispute. In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer’s decision shall be final. 4.10.3 In the event of any dispute between Bidders, the Auctioneer may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the Lot up for sale again. The Auctioneer’s decision shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. 4.10.4 The Auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the Auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No prospective Bidder or prospective Buyer shall have recourse as a result of any postponement. 4.11 Successful Bid 4.11.1 The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. Subject to the provisions of Clause 4.10, the striking of the Auctioneer’s 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. 4.12 Spink’s Own Material Auctioneer reserves the right to include in any auction its own material as well as material from affiliated or related companies, principals, officers or employees. Auctioneer may have direct or indirect interest in any of the Lots in the Auction and may collect commissions. 4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within sixty 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 All the Lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale, “genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and Spink will not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’, “restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential Buyer. 4.14.2 No Lots may be returned without a written request by the successful Bidder and the written approval of Spink. In the unlikely event of returning a Lot, Spink must receive notification of the Buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the Buyer’s receipt of the Lot. The following Lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) Lots containing ten or more items; (b) Lots described as having faults or defects because of the faults described or any others, including lots described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated Lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors shown in the illustrations; (d) Lots described “AS IS”, including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) Lots valued primarily for the bullion content; (f) Lots examined by postal viewers; and (g) any philatelic extension Lot unless the conditions set forth in Item 3.4 above is complied with fully. Except for Lots placed on extension, as per the conditions of Item 3.4 above, no Lots may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may, at Spink’s option, be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or description between the Bidder and Spink, Spink, at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in New York, NY, to which the Bidder, by placing a bid and hereby accepting these terms and conditions of sale, agrees to be bound.

Sale 322 bonds.qxp_Layout 1 28/08/2015 11:30 Page 151

5 AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium and Other Charges In addition to the Hammer Price, a Buyer’s Premium equal to 20% of the successful bid price of each Lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15% of the excess bid price over $2,000.00, a fee of 3% on the Hammer Price total for using the-saleroom.com, and a fee for paying by credit card will be added to each invoice. 5.2 Sales Tax All Lots are subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate resale certificates are on file with Spink. 5.3 Payment 5.3.1 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 amounts set forth in Clause 5.1 above and any applicable New York State sales tax, unless the Lot is exempt) 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. 5.3.2 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 the Lot prior to full settlement. 5.3.3 Spink reserves the right to await clearance of any check used for payment before delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for any check that fails to clear. 5.3.4 All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in United States dollars; however, Spink will only accept cash payments under $10,000.00. Spink offers clients the option of paying by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express only) in United States Dollars for a convenience charge of two-percent (2%) for Visa and MasterCard and four-percent (4%) for American Express, up to a total of $30,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a) the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified billing address, (c) floor Bidders present their credit cards and (d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased items. 5.3.5 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. 5.4 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. 5.5 Collection of Purchases 5.5.1 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 Lot(s) when they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within seven 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 check. 5.5.2 Unless we notify you to the contrary, items retained by us will be covered under our insurance 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. The risk of loss for the lot purchased by you shall be entirely yours after the earliest of seven days from the date of sale or from the time of collection. 5.5.3 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 Recommended Packers and Shippers 5.7.1 Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added to invoices for Lots delivered by mail. All Lots will be shipped via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal Express to street addresses, and via FedEx ground for bulky large lots (in the U.S. only). Buyer will be responsible for the total purchase price in the event of loss. Spink is not responsible for the loss of any merchandise shipped outside the United States. Insurance of any items to be shipped outside the United States is solely the responsibility of the Buyer. It is also the responsibility of the Buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession. Unless the risk of loss has already shifted by virtue of the provisions of Clause 5.5.2, risk of loss shall be borne by the Buyer following shipment of the items and Spink assumes no liability for merchandise lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of any shipper to whom merchandise has been delivered, nor for any FedEx shipment which is subject to a “signature release” on file with FedEx, or otherwise. 5.7.2 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. 5.8 Remedies for Non-Payment 5.8.1 If you fail to make payment within fifteen days of the payment date set out by your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies: 5.8.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 1.5% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due; 5.8.1.2 to set off against any amounts which Spink or the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.8.1.3 we may retain all or some of the Lot(s) purchased by you, or other property in the possession of Spink or 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, Spink and the Spink Group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such Lot(s) or other property. We may apply the proceeds of such sale in satisfaction of the debt outstanding and due us or the Spink Group, and may remit any remaining balance to you; 5.8.1.4 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; 5.8.1.5 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. 5.8.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.8.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.8.2.2 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 10% 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 5.8.2.3 when reselling the Lot, to 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, 5.8.2.4 In the event Spink refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for collection, the Buyer agrees to pay SPINK attorney’s fees, court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by Spink; 5.8.2.5 take any other reasonable and appropriate action as we deem fit.

5.6 Packing and handling 5.6.1 We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after seven days from the date of sale or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the risk of loss with respect to the lot purchased by you is entirely yours. Our postage charges are set out in Clause 11 of these Terms and Conditions. 5.6.2 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 import restrictions that prohibit the importation of certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) if rejected for importation or if Buyer fails to pay appropriate import duties. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s) seized or destroyed by any customs agencies. 5.6.3 Delivery of any Lot(s) to an address other than the invoiced address will be at Spink’s sole discretion.

5.9 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. 5.10 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.10.1 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

Sale 322 bonds.qxp_Layout 1 28/08/2015 11:30 Page 152

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: 5.10.1.1 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; 5.10.1.2 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 5.10.1.3 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. 5.10.1.4 you must provide us all evidence obtained by you that a Lot is a Forgery no later than seven (7) days after you receive such evidence 5.10.2 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.
