Continuing my "small is beautiful" (as well as being very affordable 😉) policy when it comes to acquiring more gold, I was pleased when the postman knocked the door this morning with a 1912 Half Sovereign that I did a deal on a few days ago for £135.

Its definitely passed through quite a few hands over the last 100 years or so, as can be seen when examined under a loop - but for the money, I'm very happy to be able to add it to my stack 😎

I love the design of Britannia in the bottom 2, compared to the later. Even though that's nice too.      

I think the earlier version she is more at peace. Beckoning the ship in. 
The later one she is sitting but prepared to spring up for battle. Her gear ready.

Don’t like the look of it, did you get from a trusted source?

Yes, from a seller that I have done business with several times before.....

I do appreciate you raising your concerns though - very good of you to let me have your thoughts; the coin has been cleaned at some stage, and combined with a couple of mediocre iPhone photos it probably doesn't look that great.

That’s  ok, it must be the poor pics then.     Better to find out now than when it comes to sell in years to come

I decided to carry out a little experiment with a wide variety of coins, after hearing of a few horror stories regarding ratty and spotty Maples. I purchased a bunch of Eagles and Maples, as well as a mix of Morgan and Peace Dollars for comparison.

One of the things that surprised me the most were the two O mint mark Morgans - a very welcome surprise, indeed!
