Welcome to the neighborhood, James! I'm sorry for your loss.

It would be a good idea to post good images of both sides.

No Half Sovereigns were struck in 1919.

From Tony Clayton`s Coins website.

 

Who made a half sovereign in 1919?

edited, never mind...missed daveydempsy's posting while thinking about it.

 

Thanks Chris but it is 1919 on it i need to get a better camera for a better pic

 

It may be Lebanese. In the 1960s British coins, in the correct gold purity were allegedly struck in the middle east because British gold coins had a good reputation in the region, used for 'cash' trading. In other words, a fake, but with genuine gold value.

 

look closer, it could be 1913

 

Good eye!

 

These numbers are not current. Melt value right now is $150.80

 

Its a UK website and the monthly updated price guides are in £`s

 

Looks like 1918 to me..is that's mint mark to the right of the date? Do they have mint marks? Not real familiar with them.

 

I'm guessing 1913, from a fuzzy picture, not wearing my glasses, and on my second glass of wine.

 

Does look like a 3 not a 9 but it is really blurry
