What's going on with 1st 9 of date?

 

It just looks a little damaged to me but hard to tell with all the glare.

 

thanks for the information, after measuring the coin I'm thinking its a half sovereign.

I've also took another photo as i noticed someone asked about the 9.

 

C'mon Sal, lighten up a bit. OP is a new member since today.

 

unfortunately i don't have scales but I'll be sure to grab a set and weigh it up. Also my skins a bit tougher than that all good no offence taken. I know about a days worth of information on coin collectables so it's all new to me.

 

Wasn't me.

 

Just curious op how did you acquire the coin?was it inheritance from a family member.

 

when my grandfather passed away 20 years ago he left a bunch of old coins in my mothers possession. She's aloud me to sort through them and basically do what i want with them.

 

Do your homework and work slowly welcome tons of information in here

?

 

I talked to someone with the same circumstances. The grandfather served in WWII and parachuted into enemy territory in Europe. He was given a gold coin to use for barter if he separated from his fellow soldiers. It was a coin very much like the one you have.

 

Using your fingers on a coin like that is not a good idea. Eventually it will deteriorate the coin. Nice coin and welcome to CT.
