<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1032404, member: 5739&quot;]Here is a 1928 Peru Half Sol, and a 1924 Peru 1 Sol. They have quite different looking patina. The 1928 Half Sol of mine was probably cleaned at one point. The 1928 doesn&#039;t have the fineness of silver written on it, the 1924 Sol does. &#039; 5 decimos fino&#039;. </p><p>The 1924 Sol also has an incuse writing of &#039;LIBERTAD&#039; around the column with the wreath on top of it, whereas my 1928, and the 1925 half Sol posted by the Original Poster have a raised &#039;LIBERTAD&#039;. Alot of these coins were struck in Philadelphia, I forget offhand how to tell the difference... I know that my 1924 Sol was minted in Philadelphia... The Krause Modern World Coins 1901 - 2001 book explains how to tell them apart.</p><p>And yes mat, these are .500 fine silver. </p><p>As for the original poster&#039;s coin, checking the weight would be a good idea.</p><p>&nbsp;I don&#039;t know about the ding at 11 - 12 o&#039; clock on the one side and 7 o&#039;clock on the other.... could be a where a mount was removed? But to me it just looks like a rim ding, but it&#039;s hard to tell with the photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
