Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 06:53 am 1889 is F or almost F. It's difficult to see the top of the reverse, I would expect some of the feathers on the helmet crest to be clear in F. There's rim damage on the reverse that will reduce its value. 1905 is GF on the reverse but may be better on the obverse, I can't see the hair on the upper part of the head clearly. However, it doesn't look like gold and there were no crowns issued for 1905. What weight and diameter is it, please ? Report this Post to the Staff

However NO Half sovereigns were minted that year Edited by trout1105 04/08/2013 07:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
