INTRODUCTION

Celtic coins have long been a mysterious and poorly understood field of numismatics. However,in recent years there has been a massive upsurge in interest as more and more literature draws lighton this fascinating coinage. The most recent seminal work, Ancient British Coins (ABC), hascertainly made the field more accessible, increased interest, and stimulated the market. Year byyear new records are being set and the market for Celtic coins is as healthy as it’s ever been. It isin this milieu that the Geoff Cottam collection comes to the market. Things were very muchdifferent in 1962 when a young Geoff Cottam discovered Celtic coins. Two staters of theDobunni seen in an edition of Seaby’s Coin and Medal Bulletin sparked an interest that wouldspan several decades. While the collection itself covers all tribes known to have issued coins inBritain, those relinquished here are those deemed to be apt for the current market. All TheCorieltauvi have been withheld prior to publication in Geoff’s forthcoming reference work The Inscribed Coinage of the Corieltauvi. Indeed his important Icenian holdings were relinquishedin order to focus on this part of the collection and, as a result, just one piece remains (lot 212).Other academic offerings include articles published both in the British Numismatic Journal andthe Oxford Journal of Archaeology. As a result of Geoff’s applied study and knowledge of theseries close relationships have been forged over time with various academic institutions. This isparticularly true of the Ashmolean Museum and the current driving force behind the institution’sCeltic Coin Index (CCI), Dr John Sills. On this point one must mention the inclusion of allknown CCI reference numbers and provenances within the catalogue, where known. As a sticklerfor recording such things there is much contained within the catalogue regarding the sources ofcoins and where in the British Isles they were discovered. Buyers will find that there are multiplespecimens which have never appeared on the market hitherto. Geoff took the time to buildrelationships with detectorists and earnt himself a name as a specialist in the field. As a result manycoins went from the ground into his extensive collection and are now offered for the first time.Among them and the remaining coins are great rarities many of which are among the finestspecimens available. These are marked out throughout the sales catalogue for buyers’ reference.Also noted throughout are the significant number of coins used for the plates in ABC. In additionit should be noted that both the order of sale and the rarity ratings are as seen in this publication.

One will have no reservations in pointing out that this is the most extensive and importantcollections of British Celtic coins to have come on to the market for a generation. Preparation ofthe catalogue has been an education and a pleasure and my thanks go to Geoff for his advice andsupport throughout.

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 to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering 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. Imported 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. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

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 outside of the EU.
