Delicate, original, light silver-gray color graces both sides of this wonderful three pence. The obverse is slightly off-center, as is typically seen, while the reverse is nicely centered overall with all lettering visible.
Struck circa 1672-1694 in England, these popular and scarce half pennies were used by merchants in the American colonies. A great piece of early Americana.
Beautifully preserved midgrade example!
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.
Light chocolate brown color with no traces of mishandling. A slightly rotated reverse is notable, but a choice coin all-around.

A near-mint state example of this early half cent issue. Beautiful copper-brown surfaces shimmer and no distracting marks are visible. A bold "1" can be seen over the 1 in the date. Great details in the hair show little sign of wear. A slight weak strike can be seen on the "Y" in Liberty on the obverse and on the reverse over America.
Popular collector date and draped bust half cent type coin.
The number one set hosts a AU53 example of this overdate.
The 1811-dated Half Cents are likely far rarer than mintage numbers conclude. As most were made earlier in the year, they most likely held a date of a previous issue. As a result, it is estimated that as few as 25,000-30,000 pieces were produced, making it a very difficult date to obtain in all grades. This is the most affordable example that we have handled and while it is indeed a subject of environmental issues, the details are quite nice and it's a perfect piece for the "affordable" set.
Natural Red-Brown color throughout with no discoloration or verdigris present. A tough coin to locate with so much original mint red. CAC approved for quality and eye appeal.
