Nice find watchingfromafar.BUT you said one of my uncles took a trip to Australia and brought me back some coins as I recall.And what you thought was JUST a 1901 penny,what else was there along with it?
lets hope there isn't a Krugerrand or an Austrian Philharmonica and you think its a EURO :-)

A half sovereign will be 19.5mm dia and a full sovereign 22.05mm.
Brilliant find from a garage.
All I find is mouse droppings.

Is that a small P I see on the bar under St George? This would mean it is from the Perth Mint in Australia and these can have a premium over the British version of the same coin.

Turnstone, you have a great eye. There is indeed a "P" mint mark on the coin. Here's a better picture. On a side note, when I told my mother this story she reminded me that my uncle passed away exactly 15 years ago to the day that I discovered the coin (August 5th). Life is interesting sometimes, yes? Cheers.

In this instance it hasn't a premium.
