Description
Excellent 1783 Long Worm Chalmers Shilling
Breen-1012, W-1790, AU50
1783 SHLNG Chalmers Shilling, Long Worm AU50 PCGS.
Breen-1012, W-1790, R.4. In his introduction to Chalmers silver
coinage from the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early
American Coins, Q. David Bowers notes: "All Chalmers issues are
elusive today. Most show extensive wear, with grades such as Fine
and Very Fine being typical in most collections." This Long Worm
shilling is far from typical, since it shows only minor evidence of
wear. Its surfaces have magnificent, dusky slate-blue and
rose-silver toning, which adds greatly to the eye appeal. An
excellent example for the colonial "type set" collector or
completionist. Listed on page 49 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Population: 1 in 50, 7 finer (6/09).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUT, PCGS# 595, GSID# 101)
