1969-70 4d. Guernsey Lily booklet pane with yellow omitted, unmounted mint. With normal for comparison. Pierron GU36MCa, 750; S.G. 18ab, 600. Photo Note: The missing yellow results in the loss of colour from the lilys filament and causes the petals to appear in a bright lilac shade. The error is known to have come from 2s booklets with white covers and text in black depicting a trooper from the Royal Guernsey Cavalry on horseback (containing 3 x 4d, 2 x 5d and 2 x 1d). However, it is possible the error also came from any or all of five other similar booklets (differing in composition, text colour, or cover image)

Rainbow Bird with pale blue omitted, margin at top, fine. With normal for comparison. Pierron AU470MCa, 150; BW 816ca; unlisted in S.G.

The machines marker was set in such a way so that it created a red line across the designs in an attempt to obliterate the stamps. After the test, some of the coils were boxed and distributed by accident. The coil with black missing was subsequently purchased at Buxton, New South Wales. Most of the stamps have been divided into strips of six with one of each design. QUANTITY: circa 16 mint strips

1997 (28 Mar.) Butterflies 75c., an interpanneau plate number vertical strip of ten from the right of the sheet with gold omitted on the top three stamps of the upper pane and all the stamps on the lower pane, fine. A very rare positional piece. Pierron NF1272MCa, 3,400; unlisted in S.G. Photo 1,500-1,800 Note: The missing gold results in the loss of the die-stamped country name and denomination; an albino impression of the die-stamp remains. Two sheets were discovered with the error. The first appeared on the market in 1999 while the second only surfaced in September 2005. The error occurred due to several sheets sticking together during the gold printing process as rows four and five of the upper pane of both sheets show evidence of being stuck to the underside of another sheet. Due to plate numbers and traffic lights appearing four times on each sheet, a total of eight positional pieces with gold missing are known.

Photo Note: An electrical engineer purchased a single example for postage on 16 December 1968 and was about to use it when he spotted the error. He returned to the Church Street, Hamilton Post Office and purchased the remaining 25 examples. Within a week, according to the Hamilton Royal Gazette of 21 December 1968, he had sold examples locally for prices up to 1,000. The finder posted a pair to himself. The remainder of the sheet had been previously sold across the counter so it is possible other used examples exist. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue entry is based on this example.

Photo Note: The missing silver results in the loss of the die-stamped denomination and fluorescent tagging from the vertical edges. At least two panes were partly affected.

Stamps are recognisable due to the remaining embossing pattern - which has shifted so that Canada is towards the top of the stamp and 14 is towards the bottom - and fluorescent tagging bands.

Photo Note: The missing gold results in the loss of inscription, country name and value. It is thought a sheet of 200 went through the press gum side up causing the litho colours to be printed on the gum. Then, when the uncut sheet went into the sheet feed press during the gold printing process, the sheet inadvertently printed on the gummed side stuck to the sheet above - gum side to gum side. Numerous examples exist with creases and adhesion damage consistent with the cause of the error.

Photo Note: The missing black affects the recess printed areas (value, country name and inscriptions) leaving them as an albino impression. The first pane to be reported was discovered in British Columbia. The five known used examples probably came from this pane. Two further panes were discovered in Kamloops and Hamilton respectively. The final pane, from the original sheet of 200, surfaced in Elmira, Ontario. Ten examples from the Elmira pane were used as postage (and are presumed lost) before the error was spotted.

Photo Note: The missing blue results in the loss of the recess-printed inscription, country name and value. It is probable a single sheet (comprising six panes of 25) was originally affected as six panes with the error have been recorded. A pane of 25, of which 15 were used, was discovered in Port Colborne. Another find was reported around the time of issue, but details were not recorded. In 1991 a pane surface in Edmonton. And a part pane of 20 was discovered in Calgary in 1996. Finally, two panes of 25 surfaced in May 1997 stuck to cardboard.

$1.50 Waterton Lakes with black (recess) omitted, marginal, fine. With normal for comparison. Pierron CA1770MCa, 1,750; Sc.935a; unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: The missing black results in the loss of the recess-printed inscription, country name and value. The error came from two panes - one yielding 15 examples and the other 10. In both cases the error was due to a dry print with examples partially missing black at the right of the pane and examples completely missing black at the left. One of the panes originated from Oshawa in Ontario.

Pierron CA4060MCa, 800; Sc. 1931i; unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: The missing cyan results in the background image appearing in a magenta wash rather than a blue wash.

Pierron CA4232MCa, 1,000; Sc. 1932i; unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: The missing colours result in the loss of the die-stamped red horse, embossing, the country name and value, the various inscriptions, and fluorescent tagging. Gold is also missing, but affects the selvedge but not the stamps. Printing took place in at least two stages. One of the stages was completely omitted which explains why so many elements are missing.

Note: The missing gold results in the loss of the Chinese inscription. Several panes from two pads of panes discovered on Vancouver Island were affected to varying degrees: just the left margin, the left margin and first column, the left margin to the second column. Due to the nature of the error across several panes, it is probable there was a temporary crease in the roll of gold foil which caused a progressive narrowing of the area the gold covered. Partials from the same discovery also exist.

Pierron CA6200MCa, 400+; unlisted in Scott and S.G. Note: The missing gold results in the loss of the die-stamped gold flowers from the pigs body. Pearl, which gives the grey outline of the pig its shimmer, is either weak, partially missing or completely missing however, it is not practically possible to tell and is mentioned as a point of interest. Ten faulty panes were discovered around the time of release causing Canada Post to check stocks for further examples. Although Canada Post failed to find anything, further panes were subsequently discovered at retail. A total of 33 have been reported so far. Canada Post blames the complexity of the printing process for the error; the eight-colour litho printing was done by Lowe-Martin and the die-stamped gold and pearl process by a third party.

A complete sheet of 60 was discovered by a member of the Gibraltar Philatelic Society at the time of issue. Many examples were sold to friends and members of the Society. The finder kept the remaining 38 examples in a self-adhesive photo album with disastrous results. Within two years the majority had to be destroyed due to a fungal growth which could not be removed. Of the finders 38 examples just seven survived. In all 29 examples remain from the original sheet. It is unknown if the used example off-piece, first recorded in early 2008, with a part circular cancel is from the original find. It does, however, share the same slight down and left design centring as the mint examples. QUANTITY: 29 mint, 1 used 4d. with gold omitted, fine and lightly cancelled. The only recorded example.

Photo Note: The missing yellow affects the colour of most of the buildings on the miniature sheet. Further, the title appears in magenta rather than red. The yellow blend around the Queens head is replaced by a faint pinkish glow due to the loss of yellow. The green fluorescence used on the country name is also lacking (although the line of yellow fluorescence is present) however, this is only verifiable under ultra violet light. 1993 (1 Nov.) Q.E.

Photo Note: The missing brown results in the loss of shading and detail from the front of the building. The error occurred on the top row of a sheet and shows part of the marginal markings on one of the stamps indicating the cause was a down shift of brown. Although six stamps in total would have been affected only five have been accounted for. One of those has the brown marginal marking on it so is technically not a missing colour error, but has value as the proving piece.

Photo Note: The missing black results in the loss of the country name, value and inscriptions. A brief change of Post Office policy meant items normally sent for destruction were instead sent to a paper recycling centre. It is understood a few items were rescued from pulping vats by an employee and used as postage. The use of this material would probably never have been spotted if it hadnt been for the fact a quantity of it featured printing errors.

1976 (17 May) Bicentenary of American Revolution, 15p. lower right corner block of four showing traffic lights at right, each with silver omitted, the margin with some calculations in ink which just impinges on the base of one stamp, otherwise fine. Rare. Hamilton-Bowen Certificate (2004). Pierron IR788MCa, 8,000+; S.G. 394a, 3,000+. Photo Note: The missing silver results in the loss of the inscription, country name and value. A pane of 100 stamps from a 111 plate printing which survived four security inspections including one at the printer in Dublin, two in Dublin Castle, and one in Galway prior to distribution was discovered in Roundstone, County Galway, completely missing silver. The error was subsequently authenticated 26 May 1976 by James Sheehy, Director of Stamping of the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. The discoverer of the pane, Dr Joaquin Kuhn, was brought to Dublin Castle for confirmation of his story and acquisition of the stamps over the days of 17 and 18 May 1976. This included explanation of the various hand written calculations in the margins of the top right corner block and the bottom right plate block; all created by the post mistress at the time on successive days as she tried to work out what to charge. After scrutiny of the stamps, Mr Sheehy accepted the error as an oversight of checking procedures and the over-the-counter purchase as legitimate. The discovery and confirmation of the error led the Irish Post Office to search for other affected panes. Eight additional panes were recovered indicating a total of three printers sheets (or nine panes of 100 stamps) were originally affected. Stamp dealer David Feldman took 80 of the mint stamps from the discovery pane to Interphil 76 in Philadelphia. These were numbered and initialled by Feldman on the reverse and offered for sale at Interphil 76. The numbering system starts at 1 for the stamp from the top left of the pane and ends at 100 for the stamp from the bottom right of the pane. Position 76, shown at Interphil, was subsequently placed on cover for postal registration and exists with a 14 June 1976 cancel. The finder, Dr Kuhn, kept independent records of the remaining 20 stamps from the pane this includes four first day covers cancelled Roundstone (three addressed to Canada and one to New Jersey), 15 mint, and a further copy whose current condition is unknown given it was sold to a ten-year-old girl at the time. Be wary of examples with silver partially missing. These dont come from the discovery pane, but one or more panes with a partial omission of silver. Two mint examples are known from split miniature sheets these are identifiable by their margins.

1987 (1 Oct.) Anniversaries and Commemorations 24p., an upper right corner example showing traffic lights with yellow omitted, fine.Very rare. With normal corner traffic light block. Hamilton-Bowen Certificate (2006). Pierron IR1354MCa, 6,500; unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: Almost any colour can be created by the mix of the four process printing colours black, cyan, magenta and yellow which explains why the loss of one of them impacts on most of the design and not just elements printed only in the missing colour. In this case, the loss of yellow causes the background to appear in a noticeably different shade of blue while everything that should be red is magenta. Prior to a mint block of four appearing in a traffic light collection in south west Ireland in October 2006, it was assumed the various used examples which had appeared over the years in kiloware were colour changlings. The mint block, which has since been split, includes traffic lights which proves the nature and authenticity of the error.

Pierron IR1362MCa, 4,500; unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: The missing gold results in the loss of the frame and NOLLAIG 1987 inscription. Prior to the sheetlet of 14 discovered at the time of issue by a collector but only offered to a dealer in October 2006 just two used examples were known from kiloware discoveries. Sheetlets were printed six-up so it is possible other examples exist. Given the passage of time and lack of further reports, it is likely any sheetlets that escaped detection and destruction were split and used as postage.

Photo Note: The missing blue results in subtle colour loss from the wings. The error occurred on pane number 246 plus one other; two plate blocks (normally 1A1A1A1A) both missing 1A referencing blue exist confirming two panes were affected. The error on gum arabic can be readily differentiated from the error on PVA by the very obvious difference in gum colour arabic is cream coloured while PVA is white. Further, on the design side, pale orange is more prominent on gum arabic printings whereas turquoise-green is more prominent on PVA printings.

A rare and impressive multiple. Pierron MY43MCa, 3,600+; S.G. 21a, 3,600+. Photo Note: The missing blue affects the plumage on both birds. It also causes the leaves to appear yellow rather than green (due to green being created by the mix of yellow and blue inks). The error on gum arabic can be readily differentiated from the error on PVA by the very obvious difference in gum colour arabic is cream coloured while PVA is white. The error is known to have occurred on the top three rows of a 1A pane; the pane was purchased at the time of issue by Mrs G N Lau from the GPO in Kuala Lumpur and reported in the April 1966 edition of Stamp Magazine. Two similar covers with an example of the error exist cancelled SIBU, SARAWAK one dated 1 NO 65 and the other 2 NO 65.

Photo Note: Catalogued elsewhere as pale blue and green missing, the error results in the loss of petal shading and due to a massive down shift of green the near complete loss of colour from the leaves and stems. Traces of green remain by the bottom row of perforations.

Photo Note: The missing black results in the loss of country name, inscription and shading detail on some of the leaves and branches. The error is known in two states with the remaining colours in registration, and with an up and right shift of yellow (the latter probably from a plate 2212 printing). An example exists on cover with a Wanganui cancel dated 28 October 1960

Many examples occurred due to a momentary lifting of the yellow plate from contact with the paper however, a massive down shift of yellow on one sheet caused the top row to completely lack the colour. Further, in 1964 a 16 year old schoolboy, who regularly visited local post offices on the hunt for varieties, discovered the remains of a 5d sheet with yellow missing at the St Clair post office; just 40 examples from the top of the sheet were left, but the postmistress at the time remarked the whole sheet had been affected. Another sheet is also known to have been affected, but details of its discovery remain unreported

Photo Note: The missing orange causes the loss of colour from the background and the birds wing feathers. It also results in the fruit appearing in the yellow underlay colour. The two right most columns of a sheet were affected resulting in 12 copies with orange missing however, the bottom marginal strip comprising two examples was stolen along with various other stamps from dealers Bridger & Kay on 12 February 1964.

Photo Note: The missing red results in the loss of the value and shading detail from the surrounding terrain. It also causes the diesel train to appear in the yellow underlay colour. A complete sheet of 120 stamps with the error existed originally, but the majority of stamps were stolen from dealers Bridger & Kay on 12 February 1964.

P19a(Z), P19a(Z)(1), P19a(Z)(2); S.G. 932a Note: At least seven printings are known, but only the first three are easily identifiable due to shade differences. The first printing has the headland in dull green. The second is distinguishable by the bright emerald green headland. The third and subsequent printings have the shore in a yellowish buff shade compared to the pinkish buff shade of the first two printings. The first three printings have colourless (PVA) gum while later printings feature bluish (PVAD) gum. 50c. lower left corner block of six (3x2) with imprint and plate numbers from the third printing, all showing apple-green (hill) omitted, fine.

Photo Note: The missing green results in the loss of the country name, inscription and value. Various shades of green remain in the main design as these were created by the mixing of the four process colours cyan, yellow, magenta and black. By contrast, the country name, inscription and value were printed using a separate dark green ink presumably so any late change in postal rate wouldnt affect the remainder of the design

1971 (4 June) 4c. on 21 2 c. marginal horizontal pair, the right stamp with red omitted, fine. Very rare. Pierron NZ1914MCa, 1,500; C.P. P30a(X); unlisted in S.G. Photo Note: The overprint is known in photogravure (first introduced 4 June 1971) and letterpress. Two types of letterpress overprint exist with thick obliteration bars (introduced July 1972) and with thin obliteration bars (May 1973). The thick variety was done by a printer in the UK while the thin variety was produced by the New Zealand Government Printer. The letterpress overprint is of visibly poorer quality compared to the photogravure overprint. The right most column of a pane was affected. QUANTITY: circa 10 mint Photos also appear on page 137

Pierron NZ2040MCa, 5,000+; C.P. P15b(Z); S.G. 1020a, 600+. Photo Note: The missing black results in the loss of the Maori tattoo. The left most column of a sheet was affected by the error while the second column was only partially affected. The error is usually available in a progressive strip; the appearance of black in unaffected examples within such strips indicates the error came from a late reprint circa 1978 in which the black lines of the tattoo are noticeably thinner compared to earlier printings. A further indicator the error came from a late printing is the lack of striations on the gummed side.

Pierron NZ2402MCa, 6,000; C.P. PA30a(W); S.G. 1201b, unpriced. Photo Note: The missing black results in the loss of detail from the petal and leaves. The error, which occurred on columns three and four of a plate 2B2B2B2B pane (number 078527), survived two quality control checks when originally printed and again when surcharged. It is thought the error occurred when the press came to a temporary complete stop. The pane was discovered at the time of issue and remained intact until purchased by Campbell Paterson from the May 2008 Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand auction.

Pierron NR152MCa, 2,250 Note: Two black ink plates were used for the printing of the stamps; the left most plate number relating to the value. Between eight and ten panes of 120 stamps were discovered with the error. The error exists in an intact 1A pane (ex Sir Gawaine Baillie), a plate block of four (normally 1A1A1A1A1A) missing 1A referencing black (the value), and in a plate pair (normally 1B1B1B1B1B) missing 1B. A second intact 1A pane surfaced in early 2009. A used single off-piece is known with a Kitwe cancel. The error is also known on several brown manilla covers all with typewritten business addresses and all postmarked Ndola. All the envelopes came from the same place as the typed letter a exhibits identical damage on all the addresses. Known business addresses include Border Motor Coy, Fashion Enterprises, Copperbelt Cycle Shop, Lysacht and Co, Bells Asbestos, Macrae and Co, Rent A Car, and Victory Stores. Others doubtless exist. It is thought the covers were produced by a part time dealer with a friend in a sub-office in Ndola who was prepared to cancel to order.

3d. lower right corner block of twelve (4x3) with plate numbers, each with orange (eagle) omitted, fine. Pierron NR156MCb, 14,400; S.G. 78d, 14,400. Photo Note: Prior to the early 1990s, when a batch of 1963 definitive panes were consigned to a London auction house by a former Northern Rhodesia postal worker, just one used example off-piece with a January 1964 cancel was known with the error. A mint half pane comprising 60 stamps with the eagle missing was among the material sold by Harmers in their May 1996 sale. As the design centring of the known used example and examples from the half pane are very different, it was hypothesised at the time that the other half of the mint pane had been lost or shared with another postal employee. Certainly two panes must have been affected. It was only in mid 2006 when a relative of the former Northern Rhodesia postal worker sold the other half of the pane to Stanley Gibbons that the complete story unfolded. It transpires that once news of the missing colour errors reached postal workers in Northern Rhodesia, every sheet was scrutinised before reaching any counter for sale to the public. Most senior Post Office staff were expatriates working for the Northern Rhodesia government and would eventually lose their jobs in an independent Zambia. Some decided to augment their pensions. Two orange ink plates were used for the printing of the stamps; the second from left plate number relating to the eagle. The error is known in a plate block (normally 1B1B1B1B1B) missing 1B referencing the orange used in the eagle. The block came from the half pane sold to Stanley Gibbons

Photo Note: Two black ink plates were used for the printing of the stamps; the left most plate number relating to the value. Although a complete sheet with the error was discovered, around half were damaged by grease due to the original owner leaving the item with his packed lunch in the rear window shelf of a car. The error is known in a plate pair (normally 1A1A1A1A1A) missing 1A referencing black (the value) QUANTITY: circa 120 mint (many damaged) 9d. with value omitted, fine. With normal for comparison.

David Crocker Certificate (1993). Pierron NR172MCa, 2,000; S.G. 86a, 2,000. Photo Note: Two black ink plates were used for the printing of the stamps; the left most plate number relating to the value. A complete sheet with the error surfaced in a Christies auction in March 1992 it was split into 16 lots. Further splitting has taken place, but the error is known in a plate block of nine (normally 1A1A1A1A1A) missing 1A referencing black (the value). QUANTITY: 60 mint 20/- lower right corner example with value omitted, fine. With a normal for comparison. Pierron NR176MCa, 1,100; S.G. 88a, 1,100. Photo Note: Two black ink plates were used for the printing of the stamps; the left most plate number relating to the value. The error was first reported (in the 10 January 1964 edition of Stamp Collecting) by Jean Peyrieux of Lyons who received a block of four among his new issues from UK dealer G G Woolatt. The block came from a sheet of 60 supplied to G G Woolatt by the Crown Agents as ordinary stock. The remainder of the sheet was gradually split into singles and sold. A second sheet surfaced at a Christies auction in March 1992 and was split into 16 lots, including a plate block of 12 (normally 1A1A1A1A1A) missing 1A referencing black (the value). Examples from the second sheet have a lighter background shade than those from the first. A third sheet surfaced in early 2009 QUANTITY: 180 mint

Pierron PT72MCa, 66,250; S.G. 36a, 31,800. Photo Note: The missing blue causes the loss of colour from the clothing of three of the people on the boat. The error came from a batch of 49 sequentially numbered sheets purchased on the Island at the time of issue by a dealer. The error remained undiscovered until early 2008 some 44 years after issue. Most of sheet number 1204 was affected by the error; just seven examples from the lower left of the sheet were unaffected. Sheets either side of 1204 were also unaffected. The error was first offered by auctioneers Philangles on behalf of the finder in March 2008

All known examples originate from first day covers; they were apparently soaked off in the late 1960s due to demand for good, clean used examples of normal stamps. It was only some time after their removal from covers that the errors were spotted. 1966 (9 Feb.) 2d. vertical strip of three with margin at left, the bottom stamp with yellow-orange omitted and the adjoining stamp with partial omission, fine. Brandon Certificate (1994). Pierron RH750MCa, 2,000+; S.G. 375a, 2,000+. Photo Note: The missing yellow-orange results in the loss of colour from the oranges.

Burchells Gonolek vertical strip of three with margin at foot, showing major perforation shift and the bottom stamp with deep blue omitted and the stamp above with partial omission, fine. Pierron SA428MCa, 3,250; S.G. 214a, 1,800. Photo Note: The missing deep blue results in the loss of the value, country name, inscriptions and much of the bird detail. The error occurred completely on rows three, four and five of sheet number 7380 and partially on rows two and six. It also exists from the bottom row of a miscut sheet with a down shift of red. It is unknown if the entire row was affected or survives as the error was unrecorded in the format prior to its appearance at a July 2008 IPS auction in Johannesburg where a gumdamaged strip (comprising one example completely missing deep blue) sold for ZAR 40,250. It is possible the IPS strip, and any similar vertical strips if they exist, came from a proof sheet given the tatty appearance and the fact the item appears to have been miscut, has a significant down shift of red, and a weak printing of deep blue

1986 (21 Apr.) QE IIs 60th Birthday 25p. lower right corner block of four showing plate numbers (1B), all with silver omitted, fine. With matching corner block for comparison. Pierron TS816MCa, 1,950; S.G. 408a, 1,300. Photo Note: The missing silver results in the loss of the Royal cypher and logo from the top corners of the stamp. The error is known in a top marginal 1B plate single, a top left 1C plate and traffic light single, a bottom right 1B plate and traffic light block of four, a bottom right 1D plate and traffic light single, and a right marginal traffic light single. From examples which have appeared on the market, it is probable a printers sheet of 100 (four panes of 25) was originally affected.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS

These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink and Son Limited of 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury London WC1B 4ET (company no. 04369748)) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully. 1 DEFINITIONS The following definitions in this condition apply in these conditions. Auctioneers Margin Scheme Buyers Premium Certificate of Authenticity Expert Committee Forgery means a VAT margin scheme as defined by HM Revenue & Customs; means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot; means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with clause 3.4.3; 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); means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a 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; the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold; means the owner of the Lot being sold by us; Spink and Son Limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies. value added tax chargeable under VATA and any similar replacement or additional tax; and means the symbols detailing the VAT status of the Lot details of which are set out at the back of the catalogue. 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 of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.13 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. 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. 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. 4 AT THE SALE 4.1 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. 4.2 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. Spink Uni (02/09) 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. 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.
Hammer Price Lot Reserve Seller Spink Group VAT VAT Symbols 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. The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.
2.2 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. 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
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. 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. 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. 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. Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Royal Bank of Scotland 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. 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. 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
4.12 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. 5 AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyers Premium 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 up to and including 2,000 and 15% of the excess of the Hammer Price above 2,000. 5.2 Value Added Tax Other than in respect of zero-rated lots (o) (see VAT Symbols for details), VAT is always payable on the Buyers Premium. It may also be payable on the Hammer Price, if the Lot has been marked with a sign to that effect in the catalogue (see VAT Symbols for details). 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 only on the Hammer Price of daggered 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. 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 element included within the 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. No refund of VAT charged on the Buyers Premium will be made. 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. VAT Refunds from HM Revenue & Customs 5.3.9 Where Spink is disallowed from refunding VAT it may be possible to apply directly to HM Revenue & Customs for a refund on form VAT 65. Further details available on request to the Shipping Department or directly to HM Revenue & Customs Overseas Repayment Section, Londonderry.

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 to us have been paid in full to us, even in circumstances where we have released the Lot to you. 5.4.3 Payment should be made in sterling by one of the following methods: II(i) Direct bank transfer to our account details of which are set out on the invoice.

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. 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. Packing and handling 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. 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.
5.10.1.4 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% 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; 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 auction date, 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, 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. 5.13.2 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.

5.10 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; Spink Uni (02/09)
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 6.2 7 death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or any damage or liability incurred by you as a result of our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

*Minimum courier cost please contact auctionteam@spink.com for actual cost 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 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 VATregistered 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 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 1. 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 element will be included within the Buyers Premium. iii. Daggered Lots 1. Lots which are daggered () in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 15% on both the Hammer Price and the Buyers Premium. iv. Starred and Omega Lots 1. Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to import VAT at 5% on the Hammer Price and 15% on the Buyers Premium. Lots which bear the Omega symbol () are subject to import VAT at 15% on the Hammer Price. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation into the EU. v. Investment Gold Lots 1. Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and are subject to VAT at 15% on the Buyers Premium. vi. Imported Lots 1. Lots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol () 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.
NOTICES All notices given under these Terms and Conditions may be served personally, sent by 1st class post, or faxed to the address given to the sender by the other party. Any notice sent by post will be deemed to have been received on the second working day after posting or, if the addressee is overseas, on the fifth working day after posting.

10 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS The following provisions of this clause 10 shall apply only if you are acting for the purposes of your business. 10.1 Limitation of Liability Subject to clause 6, we shall not be liable, whether in tort (including for negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract, misrepresentation or otherwise for any: 10.1.1 loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of contract, loss of use, loss of corruption of data or information; or 10.1.2 any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses. 10.2 Severability If any part of these Terms and Condition is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part may be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 10.3 Force majeure We shall have no liability to you if we are prevented from, or delayed in performing, our obligations under these Terms and Conditions or from carrying on our business by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or the workforce of any other party), failure of a utility service or transport network, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or subcontractors. 10.4 Waiver 10.4.1 A waiver of any right under these Terms and Conditions is only 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.
