Last Conder till London

D&H738 Spence
Middlesex
This is a beauty. The fields are an irridescent blue, the outside edges are RED. As usuall, my photos don't capture it. Got it today, and it is fantastic. NGC graded it MS65RB, but I think the B stands for Blue. I had to crack it out though. Looks so crappy in the NGC holder. Besides, the MS65 grade seems so weird. You can see a hint of the blue on the devices, now imagine it in all the dark areas of the fields.imageimage

    Nice, but what does the reverse say/depict?

    Spence also believed in personal freedom. The reverse with the sailor dragging off the landsman was a commentary against the British tradition of the use of pressgangs who would abduct citizens and force them into the Navy. The statement being "How can we say we have our Liberty, when at any time we may be kidnapped and forced into servitude?"

    The reverse was Spence's physical address No. 2 Little Turnstile.
