Description

Desirable 1783 Long Worms Shilling
Chalmers' Issue, W-1790, VF35

1783 SHLNG Chalmers Shilling, Long Worm VF35 PCGS. Breen-1012, W-1790, R.4. Scarcer than the Short Worm shilling, although any example of this Maryland silversmith's coinage is difficult to find. The auction record of $37,375 for a Long Worm shilling (in AU58) was set in last year's FUN auction. This pewter-gray example is smooth aside from a thin mark beneath the worm, and has only localized softness on the right-side borders. Listed on page 49 of the 2011 Guide Book.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUT, PCGS# 595, Greysheet# 101)
