Rare Early American Type
1783 Chalmers 3 Pence PCGS/CAC AU50 ex: Newman
Annapolis silversmith John Chalmers issued silver threepence, sixpence, and shillings dated 1793 to reduce the amount of clipped and worn-out Spanish-American silver in circulation. This original AU displays lovely pewter-gray fields with fantastic blue and russet undertones. Though slightly off center, the legends are complete, and the overall eye appeal is captivating! An exciting opportunity for early American type collectors as the threepence is rarer than the Long and Short Worm shillings.
