Description
1783 Chalmers Shilling, VF30
Short Worm, W-1785
1783 SHILNG Chalmers Shilling, Short Worm VF30 PCGS. Breen-1011,
W-1785, High R.4. Annapolis silversmith John Chalmers became
sufficiently annoyed at the worn out, cut down Spanish-American
silver then in commerce that he took the initiative to issue his
own silver coinage. Seven die varieties are confirmed across three
denominations, though only the Long and Short Worm shillings appear
regularly at auction. This evenly struck silver-gray example has
rose-red and powder-blue undertones. The mildly granular surfaces
offer well-defined legends. The birds, worm, hedge, and wreath are
also fairly sharp, though the clasped hands show wear consistent
with the grade. Listed on page 52 of the 2021 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUU, PCGS# 596, Greysheet# 102)
