I got a bag full of foreign coins from a bank for free (about 100 coins) and on going through them found this 1912 "s" half.

Nice.... You should cater lunch for your bank tellers this week. Doesn't hurt to be real nice sometimes.

Perhaps sad news.
I am not altogether happy about this piece.
The details look too fuzzy to me. It should be weighed, and comparison ring tone tested against a known genuine half sovereign.

I hope my suspicions are proven wrong, and it isn't fake.
It also should be remembered that fake half sovereigns were also struck in good gold.
