Description
1783 Chalmers Sixpence, VF Details
Very Rare Small Date W-1775
1783 6PENCE Chalmers Sixpence, Small Date -- Plugged -- NGC
Details. VF. Breen-1015, W-1775, High R.6. Ex: Ted L. Craig
Collection. Annapolis, Maryland silversmith John Chalmers issued a
series of silver tokens in 1783 to replace worn-out
Spanish-American coinage. All Chalmers varieties are rare, though
the shillings are encountered much more often than the other
denominations. The sixpence varieties span from very rare to
uncollectible. Due to its sharpness on half the obverse and a
majority of the reverse, the present piece is of considerable
importance. A hole is plugged and tooled effacing the CHA in
CHALMERS and the reverse shows uneven wear. Listed on page 51 of
the 2014 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUR, PCGS# 593, Greysheet# 87)
