- 1783 John Chalmers Shilling. W-1790. Rarity-4. Birds, Long Worm. Fine-12 (PCGS). This is a pleasingly toned dove gray example with tinges of cobalt blue and pale gold evident as the surfaces dip into a light. Both sides are struck off center, the obverse to 10:30, reverse to 6:30, with the upper left portion of the former side, lower portion of the latter side worn nearly smooth. Other areas are quite sharp for the assigned grade, the centers retaining about a third of the clasped hands motif on the obverse and nearly half of the scene with the birds and serpent on the reverse. Smooth in hand apart from a blush of steel-russet below center on the obverse, closer inspection with a loupe reveals little more than wispy handling marks and some natural planchet roughness that is hardly worthy of concern. PCGS has mounted this coin with the reverse (birds side) up in the holder. PCGS# 595. NGC ID: 2AUT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
