Lot Description

1783 Chalmers shilling. W-1790. Long Worm. EF-40 (PCGS). 47.0 grains. Ideal deep glossy steel gray, even and lovely on both sides. The strike is nearly perfect, ideally centered on the obverse and close enough on the reverse that denticles frame that entire side. All design elements and legends are both present and bold, and the visual appeal is superb. Some minor hairlines are unobtrusive, and whatever minor marks are present are too trivial to mention. Just a great looking example of this popular and important type from the end of the American Revolution. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of April 1976, lot 129. PCGS Population: 9; 14 finer. PCGS# 595 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
