1783 John Chalmers Sixpence. W-1775, Breen-1015. Rarity-6+. Small Date. VG-10 (PCGS).Appealing deep silver gray with some golden cabinet toning. A handsome piece, with choice surfaces and no terrible marks, just a little rim nick above 3 oclock on the reverse. The centering is a bit off, typical of the type, and the axial misalignment of the dies have left CHALMERS strong but ANNAPOLIS weak, also typical of this issue. The T for Thomas on the reverse is sharp, the S for Sparrow is about half present. A wholesome example that would actually be quite challenging to upgrade.PCGS# 593.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Heritages ANA sale of August 2007, lot 37.
