Roman Imperatorial, Brutus, Denarius, 3.14g, mint in Western Asia Minor or
Macedonia, 42 BC, bare head right, BRVT [IMP L PLAET CEST], rev. EID · MAR, pileus (cap
of Liberty) between two daggers (cf. Cahn, Quaderni Ticinesi xviii, 27a; RIC 1439; RRC
508/3; RSC 15), porous surfaces, metal flaw on face, fair/fine, a newly found example of
this desirable issue, rare, especially so from British soil
PROVENANCE:
Found November 2012, by the river Thames, Whitchurch on Thames, Berkshire.
Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme, PAS ref. FAPJW-E8D 710
The EID MAR issue was struck by Marcus Junius Brutus, an assassin of Julius Caesar,
in 42 BC. The reverse of this coin is a clear statement of the aims of the conspirators to restore
the liberties of the Republic and celebrates the murder of Julius Caesar on March 15th 44 BC.
The allusion to one of the most important events in Roman history ensures that this type is one
of the most sought after and historic of all Roman coins.
English finds of Roman Republican and Imperatorial coins are unusual, these having
circulated in Britain after the Roman conquest of 43 AD, these usually found as worn coins,
and a few, possibly, before then. It is remarkable though for an example of this rare and
historically important issue to be found in Britain and this coin is the only example known
to us.

extremely rare and historically interesting, possibly the third known
£4,000-5,000
Based on the design by Morlon, this aluminium Franc is more commonly known by collectors
of the modern French coinage as the Graziani Franc. The coins, believed to have been struck
by Free French Forces at the behest of Charles De Gaulle, are based on the design of the Franc
issued under the Third Republic. Without the access to the official dies it is thought that the
Graziani company, a provider of military badges in Algiers, was employed to make the coins,
copying the official design by Morlon. The use of the Morlon design rather than a new design
was deliberate, seeking to stress the continuity of the Third Republic under the Free French in
contrast to the Vichy State under Pétain.
Prior to striking the Franc coin it seems that the dies were first tested with trial strikings. A
similar trial strike piece in aluminium, also 37mm. in diameter, was sold at a US auction
in 2008 and another example, at French auction in 2006.

The Glorioso Islands lie in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel. A French possession
since 1892, they were named in 1880 by Hippolyte Caltaux, who established a coconut
plantation on Ile Grande Glorieuse. They form part of the French Southern and Antarctic
Lands, but are contested by Madagascar. The SOFIM (Societe Francaise des Iles Malgaches)
operated coconut plantations on the islands from 1907-1958. The existence of these issues was
only discovered in 2012.

Juan de Nova Island lies in the Mozambique Channel, between Madagascar and
Mozambique. A French possession since 1897, it is part of the French Southern and Antarctic
Lands and has been exploited for its guano and phosphate. The SOFIM (Societe Francaise des
Iles Malgaches) operated phosphate (guano) mines on the island from 1900 to 1968. The
existence of these issues was only discovered in 2012.

Morning Session
commencing at 10.00 a.m. (Lots 350-753)
THE KENNETH HEWITT COLLECTION OF
IRON AGE COINS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN BRITAIN
The Kenneth Hewitt collection, formed over the last ten years, focuses on the coins of the
British Iron tribes of Southern and Eastern Britain. In building the collection Kenneth
Hewitt deliberately set out to try and acquire examples of the different denominations and
rulers through the period, ensuring that the collection offers a comprehensive selection of
the coinage in use in Southern and Eastern Britain before the Roman Conquest in AD
43. The resulting collection is therefore especially strong in issues of the Cantii, Regni and
Atrebates, Trinovantes and Catuvellauni.
Many of the coins are recent finds often with recorded find locations whilst others are in
some cases from old collections. In the main the coins were acquired from UK dealers and
auction houses. Many of the coins are very rare and only known for a few examples.
The Catalogue has adhered to Kenneth Hewitt’s own organisation of his collection which
divided the coins into regional groupings in the manner adopted by Chris Rudd in his
reference catalogue, ‘Ancient British Coins’ (referred to Rudd ABC), published in 2010.
Lots are referenced and type defined based on Rudd’s listing, which provides the most
comprehensive and useful catalogue currently available.

This coin is the first example of the Florin coinage gold denominations known to have been found
outside the British Isles.
The first issue of English gold coins, to which this coin belongs, was ordered through an indenture
made with George Kirkyn and Lote Nicholyn of Florence, masters and workers (and others) dated
14th December 1343, and issued by Proclamation on the 27th January 1344. The Proclamation
called for “One coin of two Leopards, the piece current for six shillings, which shall be the weight of
two small florins of Florence of good weight..”, and fractions thereof. Struck from “fine gold”, the issue
proved problematic as currency and was ceased in July 1344 and effectively demonetised on 20th
August 1344. It was replaced by the Noble and it’s fraction at the end of 1344 which was sucessful
and was to form the English gold coinage for over 100 years. Prior to this the English coinage had
consisted of silver for several centuries, except for the short-lived gold Pennies of Henry III.
Gold coinage was becoming increasingly common in Europe, and England was using Italian and
French gold coins for large payments, especially overseas debts incurred as a result of the Hundred
Years War, and as a store of wealth. The Florentine Florin became an international currency, and
was copied in France: the Petit Royal d’or (1290) was of the same weight. At the same time as Europe
was experiencing a growing shortage of silver to meet the demands for coinage the gold supply
increased, particularly from Hungary. These forces, together with perhaps an additional desire for
political prestige, prompted the issue of a gold coinage in England in 1343-44.
All three denominations for the first English Gold coinage are extremely rare. Three examples are
known of the Double-Leopard, two of which were found in the river Tyne in 1857 and both of
which are now in the British Museum. A third example, a recent find from southern England,
was sold at Spink for a record price in 2006 (Spink auction 182, June 29th 2006, lot 301) and
is now displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The Leopard and Helm (Half
Leopard) are equally rare. Three Leopards and three Helms are held in institutions. A further
Leopard, newly found, sold by Spink on 23 July 2003 (lot 379), is now in a private collection.

Edward VII, Coronation, 9 August 1902, small gold medal, by E. Fuchs, conjoined
busts right, rev. Britannia seated right, displaying an oval shield inscribed 9 AUG 1902 and
bearing the Royal arms, in the distance, Westminster Abbey, above, a radiate crown,
20mm, 6.67g (cf. BHM 3772; cf. E.1870), extremely fine, the only recorded example
£400-600
This remarkable little medal is notable for three reasons, its size, its metal, and the date. The
medal was advertised for sale in three sizes, 64mm., 39mm., and 32mm. The smallest size of
20mm. was not advertised. This size is not noted in Eimer, but is noted in BHM. Gold medals
are not listed in Eimer. Gold medals are listed for the three larger sizes in BHM, but not for
the 20mm. size, which is listed only in bronze. The ceremony was originally scheduled to take
place on 26 June 1902, and most medals have this date. The king underwent an operation on
24 June, and so the ceremony was delayed until he regained his strength. It eventually took
place on 9 August. Very few medals show the later date. BHM mentions a large silver medal
in the author’s collection, a large gold medal in the Royal Collection, and some bronze
examples in private collections.

chargeable. The Rate of Premium is 20% of the final hammer price of each lot.
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

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.
SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT
2.1
All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken
either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal
if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as
agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a
financial interest in the Lot.
2.2
The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.
3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of
Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and
specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject
to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to
refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity
including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not
known to us.
BEFORE THE SALE
3.1
3.2
Examination of goods
You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you
are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are
usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other
than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.13 of these Terms
and Conditions.
3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of
Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You
acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert
Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the
circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.
Catalogue descriptions
3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made
orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin,
date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance,
condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely
statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of
definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and
should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of
any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price
should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the
price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.
3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being
in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given
by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or
restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the
absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from
defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects
imply the absence of any others.
3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud,
neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are
responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the
authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or
provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for
any faults or defects in any Lot.
3.3
3.4
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the
goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.
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
Spink Uni (07/11) (20)
3.4.4 We will not normally accept a request for an extension on
account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having
faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or
Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included
in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.
3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the
Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.
3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate
of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not
on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity.
No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and
the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.

AT THE SALE
4.1
Refusal of admission
Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over
which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable
at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or
attendance at an auction.
4.2
Registration before bidding
You must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we
usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.
Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”,
which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the
item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an
event.

4.3
Bidding as Principal
When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by
way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or
email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be
accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the
time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third
party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4
Commission Bids
If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form
provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable
endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later
than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a
particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the
highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was
received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other
commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction
may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is
undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated,
we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You
should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of
bidding.
4.5
On-line Bidding
We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not
be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the
internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a
loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a
breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii)
a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or
system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken
subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not
accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors
or omissions in connection with this activity.
4.6
Telephone Bids
If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the
sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you
to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we
be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.
4.7
Currency Converter
At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the
one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank
Plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the
date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by
us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in London. The currency
converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our
control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the
converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall
not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the
currency converter.
4.8
Video images
At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its
operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the
correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the
image as a reproduction of the original.
4.9
Bidding Increments
Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the
following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding
increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding
increments are:
Up to £100
by £5
£100 to £300
by £10
£300 to £600
£320-£350-£380-£400 etc.

£6,000 to £20,000

£20,000 and up
Auctioneer’s discretion
4.10 Bidding by Spink
4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to
the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the
low estimate printed in the auction catalogue.
4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase
Lots as principal.
4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion
The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid
to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw
or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of
error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.
Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

4.12 Successful Bid
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks
the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is
higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a
contract for sale between you and the Seller.
4.13 After Sale Arrangements
If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller
within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller
reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in
accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a
commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement.
4.14 Return of Lot
Once your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay
for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there
are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of
receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then
request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in
clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of
the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We
will not normally exercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by
us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date.
AFTER THE AUCTION
5.1 Buyer’s Premium
In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s
Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer Price of each Lot.
5.2 Value Added Tax
Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) 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.
5.3 VAT Refunds
General
5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for VAT on all Lots unless they
have been exported outside the EU within 3 months of the date of
sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of VAT
invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then
any refundable VAT will not be collected. In all other cases credits
will be made when proof of export is provided. If you export the
Lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the
Shipping Department for which a charge of £50 will be made.
5.3.2 If you export the Lot you must return the valid proof of export
certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. If you fail to
return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and
you have not already accounted to us for the VAT, you will be
liable to us for the full amount of the VAT due on such Lot and we
shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum.
5.3.3 To apply for a refund of any VAT paid, the proof of export
certificate must be sent to our Shipping Department clearly marked
‘VAT Refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale. No payment will
be made where the total amount of VAT refundable is less than £50
and Spink will charge £50 for each refund processed.
VAT Refunds - Buyers from within the EU
5.3.4 VAT refunds are available on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s
Premium of Daggered (†) and Investment Gold (g) Lots. You must
certify that you are registered for VAT in another EU country and
that the Lot is to be removed from the United Kingdom within 3
months of the date of sale.
5.3.5 Where an EU buyer purchases a Lot on which import VAT has
been charged, no refund of VAT is available from us. It may be
possible to apply directly for a refund on form VAT 65 to
HM Revenue & Customs Overeseas Repayment Section,
Londonderry.
VAT Refunds – Buyers from outside the EU
5.3.6 Where a Lot is included within the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme
and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months
of the date of sale, the VAT 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.

wish to export the Lot and an export licence is (or may be)
required.

for EU VAT registered buyers.
5.6 Collection of Purchases
5.6.1 Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items
sold until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been
paid in full.
5.6.2 Unless we notify you to the contrary, items retained by us will
be covered in accordance with our policy which is available for
inspection at our offices from the date of sale for a period of seven
days or until the time of collection, whichever is sooner. After seven
days or from the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot
will be entirely at your risk.
5.6.3 Our policy will not cover and we are unable to accept
responsibility for damage caused by woodworm, changes in
atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism.
5.7 Notification
We are not able to notify successful bidders by telephone. While
Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept
responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. You are
requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible
after the auction to obtain details of the outcome of your bids to avoid
incurring charges for late payment.
5.8 Packing and handling
5.8.1 We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when
handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after
seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the
Lot is entirely at your risk. Our postage charges are set out at the
back of the catalogue.
5.8.2 It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import
Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final
destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to
avoid these duties. The onus is also on the Buyer to be aware of any
Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of
certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) under
these circumstances. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s)
seized or destroyed by Customs.
5.8.3 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;
Spink Uni (07/11) (20)
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; or
5.10.2.3 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit.
5.11 Failure to collect
Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale,
whether or not payment has been made, you will be required to pay a
storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost
that may apply. You will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all
outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other
amounts due to us.
5.12 Export Licence
5.12.1 If required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed
provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you
in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility
in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be
responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences.
5.12.2 If the Lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be
required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver
document stating that a licence will be applied for.
5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required
before exporting. Export licences are usually obtained within two
or three weeks but delays can occur.
5.12.4 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish
to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to
make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on
late payment.
5.12.5 If you request that we apply for an export licence on your
behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements
and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together
with any relevant VAT.
5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any
interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made
by you despite the fact that an export licence is required.
5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery
5.13.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you
if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the
catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not
however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the
catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date
corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or
experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of
opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery
only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted
for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at
the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable
or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you
should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following
conditions are met:
5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the
receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a
Forgery;
5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days
from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the
auction date; and
13012 Pages:Layout 1
26/2/13
11:02
Page 200
5.13.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must
produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and
that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third
party claims.
5.13.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more
than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall
have no claim for interest.
5.13.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being
transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the
original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold
and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without
disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
5.13.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to
establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process
was used or in use at the date of the auction.
6 LIABILITY
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for:
6.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or
6.2 any damage or liability incurred by you as a result of our fraud or
fraudulent misrepresentation.
7 COPYRIGHT

or otherwise produce an image of the Lot. All rights in such an image
will belong to us, and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way
we see fit.
7.2 The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material relating
to a Lot is and shall remain at all times our property and we shall have
the right to use it in whatever way we see fit. You shall not use or allow
anyone else to use such images, illustrations or written material without
our prior written consent.
8 VAT
You shall give us all relevant information about your VAT status and that of
the Lot to ensure that the correct information is printed in the catalogues.
Once printed, the information cannot be changed. If we incur any unforeseen
cost or expense as a result of the information being incorrect, you will
reimburse to us on demand the full amount incurred.

similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of

effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances
for which it is given. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any
right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions or by law shall
constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor
preclude or restrict its further exercise. No single or partial exercise
of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise
of that (or any other) right or remedy.
10.4.2 Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under
these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and do not exclude
rights provided by law.

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
VAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’
Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,
we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer
Price and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered
businesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the
normal rules for recovering input tax.
ii.
Zero-Rated Lots
Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT in
the United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ Margin
Scheme. In these circumstances no VAT 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.
Starred 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. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable for
VAT at this rate on importation into the EU.
v.
Investment Gold Lots
Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the Hammer
Price and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund of
VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof
of business as a collectibles dealer.
vi.
Imported Lots
Lots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)
have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium because
they have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.
In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in
effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has been
sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay
the import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HM
Customs and Excise on your behalf.
