Description
1783 Chalmers Shilling, XF45
W-1790, Long Worm Obverse
1783 Chalmers Shilling, Long Worm XF45 PCGS. Breen-1012, W-1790,
R.4. Annapolis, Maryland silversmith John Chalmers (1750-1819)
produced these small silver coins to aid his local commerce.
Threepence, sixpence, and shillings, struck from dies attributed to
Thomas Sparrow, saw extensive circulation. Attractive gunmetal-gray
surfaces are a trifle off-center, as sometimes found, and show a
slight planchet fracture at the base of the reverse. Verdigris from
carbon appears at the S of ANNAPOLIS. Somewhat unevenly struck with
the lower obverse (including the date) and the lower reverse rather
poorly defined on this medallically aligned piece. An important
opportunity to acquire this seldom-offered silver colonial issue.
Listed on page 20 of the 2026 Guide Book.Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 174; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2007), lot 2047.
