NEWP: My first red early Vicky

Just arrived this evening. 1844 1/3 Farthing NGC MS65 RD. While I have a couple of late-era Vicky pieces in full red, this is my first early Vicky. A couple of small carbon spots, but nothing major (keep in mind the coin is about the size of a U.S. dime, so those carbon spots in hand are hardly distinguishable).

Still need to experiment more with the lighting and angles, because these shots don't really showcase the lustre well. The reverse has a bit of PL action happening.

Also, as you can see from Britannia's knees on the reverse, I probably need to polish my slabs before shooting.

Seller overcharged outrageously for shipping and didn't fully insure, despite my paying for such, so I haven't decided what feedback I will leave (I inquired but he blew me off with a BS story). At any rate, I like the coin.

What's wrong with a Positive that says, "Seller overcharged outrageously for shipping and didn't fully insure." And ping the Shipping Cost star.

By the way, nice coin.

Don, the first of your two posts demonstrated that wit and wisdom for which you are well known.

BTW, shouldn't you be in bed, old fella?

A very pretty coin and as always a great photograph.

I wanted to make a post that even you could understand.

I appreciate that. I know how much you struggle with making your posts understandable. Keep trying, though. Results come to those who are persistent.

Children! Don't make me separate you two! If I have to stop this message board, we're going right home!

But a very nice coin to get this back on track.

Lovely coin and a hard date to find in a high grade and in red!
