THE ‘MEDINA’ COLLECTIONS

The “Medina” Collections formed, over many years, by Mohammed Sayeed, FRPSL, are very diverse innature and include India and States, Ceylon, Cape of Good Hope, Afghanistan, Great Britain and a fineCollection of U.P.U.

The Collections have been awarded numerous gold and large gold medals at International Exhibitionsover the years.

In 2008, in Bucharest, the India exhibit “1852-55, The Scinde Dawk and Lithograph Issues and theirUsages” was awarded the FIP Grand Prix D’Honour, one of the highest awards achievable.

Spink are honoured to have been selected to sell the ‘Medina’ Collections in a series of sales during2013.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

With regard to stamps printed by Perkins Bacon on blued paper there were some twelve printings of thisvalue and, along with the 4d. value, it is a thankless task to classify all these stamps according to StanleyGibbons numbers. Many shades have slightly altered over the years when stamps have been washed offpieces, this process almost certainly affecting the degree of blueing. S.G. numbers quoted on this andother Perkins Bacon printings are purely as a guide to buyers and not a guarantee of accuracyPerkins Bacon stamps described as unused with gum are not guaranteed as original gum.

Many of the covers or entires in this collection will have filing folds or creases, buckling and other wearand tear associated with postal history from this period. Unless affecting the franking these have notbeen mentioned separately.

Buyers should satisfy themselves that when placing bids all matters relating to attribution and condition,particularly as noted above, are satisfactory to them as these will not be grounds for the return of any lotin this auction.


Note: All buyers must read the notes concerning requests for Extensions printed on page 2 of this catalogue.The Terms of that notice must be complied with fully under all circumstances.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable forVAT at this rate on importation into the EU.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer.

vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
