Description
1783 John Chalmers Sixpence. W-1770. Rarity-6. Large Date. Poor/Fair Details--Plugged (PCGS).
Clearly well worn, as the PCGS grade sets up, there is hardly any obverse detail remaining. The reverse retains more definition and, while the date has been lost, enough of the crossbar detail is present to confirm the Whitman number. Golden-gray on the obverse, the reverse with silver-gray and cobalt blue. A crude plug at 11 o'clock relative to the reverse is the most significant detraction. Very few Chalmers sixpences are completely immune from some flaw or other, and collectors seeking to acquire this type only in straight-grade holders may require an extra lifespan of patience. This piece represents a more realistic alternative.
PCGS# 594. NGC ID: 2AUS.
Estimate: $750
