1783 Chalmers Threepence, MS61
W-1760, Popular in Local Commerce
1783 3PENCE Chalmers Threepence MS61 PCGS. Breen-1018, W-1760,
R.5. Annapolis silversmith John Chalmers produced a series of
small silver coins to stimulate the local economy at a time when
most business was conducted on the barter system, or through the
use of various foreign coins, especially the unpopular Spanish cut
pieces. Produced locally in Maryland, the Chalmers silver pieces
were popular and widely accepted. Most examples encountered today
are the shillings, with few threepence and sixpence surviving. This
lovely Mint State threepence exhibits light gold toning on the
devices and rich blue-steel toning in the fields. The strike is a
trifle weak at the left obverse and reverse with the balance of
design elements boldly defined. An exceptional example that should
garner spirited bidding. Listed on page 53 of the 2017 Guide
