End of Sale

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. The highest bidder for each lot shall be the buyer thereof. In the event of any dispute the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute and the disputed lot may well be re-offered for sale.

2. The auctioneer will have absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, or to withdraw any lots from the sale without giving any reason. The bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid or bids.

3. All lots are offered for sale subject to any reserve price that may be imposed by the seller.

4. All lots are subject to a "BUYER'S PREMIUM" of 24.00% inclusive of V.A.T., payable by all buyers.

(a) The symbol ‘G’ appearing next to a lot in this catalogue denotes the item is ‘Investment Gold’ and, therefore, a VAT-registered trader can submit a claim to H M Revenue and Customs to recover the VAT element of the Buyers’ Premium

(b) Any lot marked with a dagger (†) is subject to import VAT at 5%, this will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer if resident in the EU. If the lot is being exported outside the EU, this import VAT can be waived or refunded on proof of export.

5. Bidding commissions for anyone unable to attend the auction in person will be carried out by A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd without any additional charge. Bids must be in writing and be received at least 24 hours before the sale. "Buy" commissions will not be accepted. A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd shall not be liable for errors or omissions in executing any bidding commissions. We cannot guarantee to execute written bids received less than 24 hours before the commencement of the sale. If two absentee bidders bid identical sums for the same lot, the first bid received shall take precedence.

6. The buyer of any lot shall, if requested, immediately notify his name and address to the auctioneer and if required,

(a) provide bank/or other credit references;

(b) pay the full purchase price, or a fractional deposit as may be determined at the discretion of the auctioneer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any lot, other than a miscellaneous item not individually described in the catalogue, should be proved by the buyer to be not genuine or authentic, or to have been wrongly described in any material respect, the buyer may reject the same provided that he shall have given notice of his intention so to do and shall have returned the same to A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd within seven days from, and in the same condition as at, the date of sale. The onus of proving a lot to be not genuine or authentic or to have been so wrongly described shall lie with the buyer.

shall rescind the sale and repay to the buyer the price paid by him. Save as provided herein, A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd shall not under any circumstances whatsoever be liable for any costs, expenses or damages (whether direct, indirect, special or consequential) incurred by the buyer in respect of any lot, whether or not as a result of any fault, imperfection, error or description or lack of genuineness or authenticity, including but not limited to loss of any kind of profit whatsoever.

(c) The Auctioneer does not accept the opinions of commercial third-party grading services. Refusal of such a service to grade a coin, or a difference of opinion on the grade of a coin, is not acceptable grounds for the return of a lot.

Information for New BiddersAdmission to the auction and participation is free once you have a copy of this catalogue.

You are encouraged to view the lots before the sale and attend the auction in person. Viewing of the lots may be done at your leisure, by appointment, in the week prior to the auction.

The catalogue is printed with estimates alongside each lot. This is intended as a price guide for interested bidders. Although it is our opinion of the value of the lot, bidders should be clear in their own minds what each lot is worth and should be prepared for prices to rise if there is competition for the lot. All lots can realise hammer prices both above and below the printed pre-sale estimate. In normal circumstances, each lot is reserved at 80% of the lower estimate and bids below this are very unlikely to be accepted.

Bidding may be carried out by you in person or by a representative of your choice (please ask a member of Baldwin’s staff for more information on this). To collect your bidding number visit the registration table outside the auction room. Please ensure that you arrive in plenty of time for the lots you are interested in. A time guide is printed at the front of this catalogue and approximately 200 lots are sold per hour. However, bidders are reminded that this is a guide only and Baldwin’s cannot be held responsible if you miss your lot.

Alternatively, bids may be submitted by filling out the bidsheet found in this catalogue. They must be submitted in writing either by post, email or fax to the Baldwin offices to arrive not later than 24 hours prior to the sale. Please include a street address in your email. Bids left by telephone are at the bidder’s risk. Baldwin’s will accept no responsibility for errors in the execution of bids submitted to a member of staff by telephone. It is recommended that such bids are confirmed in writing immediately.

Baldwin’s regret that they are unable to confirm receipt of faxed or emailed bids sent up to 3 days prior to the date of the auction.

Absentee bids left with Baldwin’s Auctions are executed by the auctioneer against all other bidders. Participants should supply their highest bid for each lot. Lots will be purchased as cheaply as possible against all competition. Absentee bidders will not be contacted prior to the auction if their top bid has been exceeded. Bidding begins below the low estimate and if yours is the only bid you will win the lot for the opening price no matter what your top bid may be. In the event of identical absentee bids, the earliest received will take priority.

If you are bidding in our auction for the first time, please give us the name of another dealer or auction house that knows you well as a reference. If you are unable to do this, we can only send you your lots after your invoice has been paid in full.

Invoices will be prepared on request during and after the auction. These will indicate the total due to A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd (including postage and insurance costs). Invoices will be sent by Royal Mail to bidders approximately two days after the auction has ended. Baldwin’s regret that invoices cannot by sent by email. Full prices realised will be included with each invoice posted and are available on request shortly after the auction.

The price paid by the bidder is the hammer price plus 24.00% buyer’s premium (including VAT). Book lots are not subject to VAT. Lots exported outside of the European Union may not be subject to VAT where A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd hold proof of export. Ask Baldwin’s for more details where this may apply to you.

Postage and insurance will be charged at cost for larger shipments and those outside the UK (minimum £7.80). Lots will be sent by Royal Mail, recorded and insured delivery. Bidders are encouraged to arrange their own collection/ shipment wherever possible.
