              KING GEORGE VI
    138     1937 sovereign in virtually proof quality, the only detractions being some very minor
               surface marks and a small abrasion at the King’s jaw.
              It should be noted that the 1937 sovereign, the only one to bear the effigy of George VI,
               was not issued in the normal way, and all coins produced were of specimen status. This is
               highlighted by the fact that the coin’s edge is not reeded (“milled”). Only about 5,500
               were produced, and this is one of British coin collecting’s rarities.           ..                  £600 to £1,000.


A Buyer’s Premium of 11½% (vat-inclusive) will be added to all sale prices.

THE END OF THE SALE

A Buyer’s Premium of 11½% (vat-inclusive) will be added to all sale prices.

Customers should note that some of the arrangements vary from those for our normal Stamp or Stamps and Collectables Auctions.

Viewing in the week preceding the auction will be by appointment only. Viewers will be asked to provide some form of proof of identity.

Viewing at the auction will start at 4pm and will be at viewing tables. There will be a limited number of spaces, with staff handing out lots as requested. Separate groups of lots will be at different tables. If other viewers are waiting, customers will be allowed a maximum of twenty minutes at any one viewing table. If no one else is waiting this restriction will not be applied. Viewing will stop promptly at 6.50pm.
It will help our plans if we know who is coming, so priority will be given to customers who have given us advance notice of their intention to view on the day.
The Buyer’s Premium will be 11.5% (that is 10% plus v.a.t.).

We expect buyers to have settled their accounts within seven days of the auction. Our plan is that all items that need to be posted out will be sent by us within seven days, and that buyers will pay within seven days of that. Any other arrangements for payment must be agreed prior to bidding.

Payments will be accepted in any of the following manners;

              Cash (Sterling – Euros or other major currencies by agreement)

              Cheque (Sterling, drawn on a UK bank, with appropriate bank guarantee)

              Credit Card (MasterCard or Visa, both subject to a 1% surcharge – the other part of the bank fees
              paid by ourselves)

              Debit Card (Maestro or Delta, no surcharge applicable).

Bid Steps will often be in smaller increments that we normally use. In the case of any gold coins where the values are tied closely to gold market prices, we will use increments of approximately 2% (e.g. £1 steps up to £100, then £2 steps to £200, then £5 steps to £500, then £10 steps, etc.).
Estimates have been decided upon when the market price for gold was £625 per ounce, shortly before printing. Any subsequent changes in market prices should of course be taken into account.
Minimum Bids in our auctions are normally about two-thirds of the estimate. In this auction, those coins where the value is principally the bullion value are very unlikely to sell for much less that the estimates, so we will probably open the bidding at about ten or twenty percent below estimate. For lots where the value is a collectable rather that bullion value, we will open bidding at two-thirds of estimate. No bids below these levels will be recorded. Any lots sold “as is” will be sold without any reserve.
Authenticity; All lots are sold as genuine and as described. Should the authenticity of any item be called into question, we will declare at the time of the auction whether the lot is being sold as genuine, or sold “as is”. If sold as genuine, the buyer should state any doubts at the time they receive their lots. No lot sold “as is” can be returned for any reason.
Gradings given in the descriptions are for guidance only. Anybody viewing the lots will be taken to have satisfied themselves as to the quality. Bidders who cannot view in person should accept that our gradings might be one stage away from their own, and that this would not be considered misdescription. More detailed descriptions are available by phone, or by email.
Illustrations in this catalogue are from scans rather than photographs, and in some cases do not represent the true colour of the coins
Security at the auction viewing will be treated differently. Video and still photography may be used. Any customers who have a problem with this should speak to us in advance.

 

NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
We list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of help to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our normal pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.                From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
>From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps (i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42, £45, £48, £50).
>From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.                           From £100 to £200, bids are in £10 steps.
>From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
>From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30, and above this in 5% to 10% steps.

CREDIT CARDS

We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments by Maestro and Delta. This facility can be used by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed to make space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the appropriate section.
Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by credit card, and to have the lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are only charging 1% for this service, as long as postal bidders give us their details in advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Maestro and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.

(Space is given here for normal credit card details)
