 THE PROFESSOR IAIN STEVENSON COLLECTION
AND OTHER BRITISH BANKNOTES

Foreword
The British Banknotes sale this October may not have the sweep and grandeur of the
World Banknotes sale but it offers a fine and varied selection of British notes. The
English section features several rare Provincial notes and a fine selection of Treasury
and Bank of England issues including Peter Longmuirs lovely collection of firsts and
lasts. There are Channel Isles and Irish notes and of course a large and immensely
varied group of Scottish notes, largely comprised of Professor Iain Stevensons
collection. The forewords before this section are eloquent enough but I would like to
add that Iain was always a welcome face in the department. He was above all,
enthusiastic and knowledgeable and all of us here at Spink will miss him.

There are two charity sales concurrent with the Autumn auctions, all for brand new
Polymer notes with excellent numbers. The Bank of England has its own catalogue,
and the three Scottish banks (Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank and Royal Bank of
Scotland) are sharing another. Proceeds all going to good causes, and I am sure the
sales will be well supported as always.

Thank you and good luck

Barnaby, Andrew, Monica and Thomasina

A Forword From The Stevenson Family

Iain was born in Shotts in Scotland on 2nd of April 1950. After graduating
from the University of Glasgow at the age of 22, he went on to complete a
Masters at Simon Fraser University in Canada and studied for his PhD at
University College London. It was whilst researching in France, that he met
Jane, married a year later and went on to have four children. After a
successful career in publishing, Iain returned to academia, firstly at City
University, and then UCL. As he approached retirement, he found he had
more time to embrace his love for banknote collecting, enjoying the artistry
and splendour of his examples of paper money.

PROFESSOR IAIN STEVENSON 1950-2017

Many collectors will be aware of the tragic death of Professor Iain Stevenson on 1st
March 2017 at the age of 66. Iain was well known as a longstanding and enthusiastic
paper money collector, a regular at auctions and banknote fairs for many years. There
were many occasions when he and I found ourselves side by side when Scottish
material in particular was on offer. He became a firm friend.
Iains collecting interests were far wider than just Scottish paper money and everything
he collected was linked in some way to his life-long interest in books, book publishing,
cartography and the printed word. He was an equally keen philatelist and bibliophile
and was continually on the hunt for unusual examples of the printed word in all its
many forms.
As a proud Scot, Iains collection was inevitably focused on Scottish material but his
enthusiasms ranged further afield, reflecting his affinity to Canada and France, for
example. He was particularly fond of artwork and printers proofs which he saw as
essential parts of a banknotes journey from inception to circulation.
Iain always enjoyed long conversations with anyone who shared his interests and could
tell a wonderful story. It is fair to say he took the Tell part of Show and Tell very
seriously indeed at IBNS London members meetings!
I was so pleased Iain agreed to write a Foreword to Paper Money of Scotland, the
history and catalogue Dave Murphy and I have been working on for many years with
Iains unstinting support and encouragement. He reviewed several chapters for us and
helped us avoid more than a few unfortunate errors. We are of course dedicating the
book to his memory.
He was a lovely man and will long be remembered for his unwavering passion for
learning and his total happiness at sharing all his knowledge with others.

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.

1 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply in these conditions:
Auctioneers Margin Scheme means a VAT margin scheme as defined by HM Revenue & Customs;
Buyers 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;
Expert Committee means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension 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;
Reserve the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold;

2 SPINKS 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 BEFORE THE SALE
3.1 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.
3.2 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, 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.
3.2.3 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.
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 7 days after you receive such
correspondence.
4 AT THE SALE
4.1 Refusal of admission
Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over
which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable
at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or
attendance at an auction.
4.2 Registration before bidding
You must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we
usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.
If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are
registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a
deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit
will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are
unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same
means it was paid to Spink.
Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as Premium Lots,
which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the
item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an
event.
4.3 Bidding as Principal
When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by
way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or
email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be
accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the
time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third
party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4 Commission Bids
If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form
provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable
endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later
than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a
particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the
highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was
received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other
commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction
may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is
undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated,
we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You
should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of
bidding.

August/17
 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 Auctioneers discretion
4.10 Bidding by Spink
4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Sellers 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 Auctioneers 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 auctioneers 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 Buyers Premium in
accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a
commission in accordance with the terms of the Sellers 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 Buyers Premium and other charges
In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyers
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 card.
August/17
5.2 Value Added Tax
Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) VAT is chargeable on the
Hammer price and the Buyers premium of daggered () and () 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
Buyers 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 Buyers 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 Buyers
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 Buyers Premium may be refunded.
5.3.7 Where the Lot is marked as a Daggered () 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 Buyers 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 () 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 Buyers 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.
5.3.9 Lot marked as Investment Gold (g) is exempt from VAT on
Hammer price. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyers Premium
can be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer
and where evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3
months of the date of sale.
5.4 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 Buyers 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:

American Express are subject to a 4% fee. Payments by all

limits to the amounts we will accept depending on the type
of card being used and whether or not the cardholder is
present.

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.

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 email or 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.

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%
sellers 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;
August/17
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.

or not payment has been made, you will be required

additional handling cost that may apply.

outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other

5.11 Uses of default information
If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and
Conditions:
5.11.1 We reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any
future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have
been settled; and
5.11.2 You consent to us disclosing details of such default to other
auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your
name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default.
Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the default
may rely on such information when deciding whether to enter into a
transaction with you in the future.
5.12 Export Licence
5.12.1 If required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed
provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you
in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility
in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be
responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences.
5.12.2 If the Lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be
required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver
document stating that a licence will be applied for.
5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required
before exporting. Export licences are usually obtained within two
or three weeks but delays can occur.
5.12.4 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish
to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to
make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on
late payment.
5.12.5 If you request that we apply for an export licence on your
behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements
and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together
with any relevant VAT.
5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any
interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made
by you despite the fact that an export licence is required.
5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery
5.13.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you
if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the
catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not
however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the
catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date
corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or
experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of
opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery
only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted
for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at
the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable
or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you
should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following
conditions are met:
5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the
receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a
Forgery;
5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days
from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the
auction date; and
5.13.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must
produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and
that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third
party claims.
5.13.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that
a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such
evidence.
5.13.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more
than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall
have no claim for interest.
5.13.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being
transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the
original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold
and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without
disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
5.13.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to
establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process
was used or in use at the date of the auction.

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
VATregistered 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 Buyers 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 Buyers
premium.
iii. Daggered Lots
Lots which are Daggered () in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%
on both the Hammer Price and the Buyers 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 Buyers premium. Lots which bear the
Omega symbol () are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and
on the Buyers 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 Buyers Premium. A refund of
