It's as simple as comparing where the word Georgivs starts. The 1921 begins close to the bust and the 1911 does not. The coin above has no chance to be 1921.

might have been illegally altered at one time from a "1" to a "2" by a person not smart enought to "alter" the front motto as well -- but its clearly not a "legit" 1921 half sadly --wish it was woulda been cool.

Not trying to be critical of any one.... But the missing saying is Dei Gra..... Not Del Gra..

Dei being the latin word for God. Gra is short for Gratia. In later years.. it was just shortened to D.G.

Still a nice coin... and there is a fair bit of silver value in it.

Or, ebay to some Canuck :laughing7:

Anyway, if I had found something like that I would be ecstatic.

Cheers

So you're saying that's a fake 1911 half? That would be quite a surprise because it definitely looks like dug silver.

no --i think he means its a real 1911 half and that the "date" 1911 has been altered to look like 1921 thus the 1921 dates been "faked"

Now if the coin reeks of cheap liquor I would have to agree. :laughing7:
