I’d probably say that it’s genuine. It’s difficult to say for sure without weighing it but obviously then you’d have to take it out of the mount to do that.
But it is worn and seems to be a 1907 London mint due to the lack of mint mark.
Having said that and as you’ve already said, the sentiment of it matters more to you which is nice.

Look at the specs for half sovereigns:
Specification
Metal Gold Diameter 19.3mm Weight / Size Half Gold Weight Troy Ounces 0.118 Fineness / Carat 0.917 / 22 Date 2022 Obverse Designer Jody Clark Reverse Designer Timothy Noad Issuing Monarch Elizabeth II (1952 - Date) Mint / Brand The Royal Mint Country United Kingdom These are from https://www.chards.co.uk/2022-gold-half-sovereign-uncirculated-coin/15696
All dates are the same.
So, is your coin nearer 4 grams or 8 grams?
Discoloration:
 I see it quite often on jewellery, possibly some kind of lacquer or cosmetics.

Go on have a guess 😁

Hi guys, about 10 years ago i inherited my deceased gran's chain. I found it while clearing a cupboard out today and it has a coin mounted in it that is the design of a 1907 sovereign. Being a newbie to PMs i have no clue if it is fake or real and wondered if anyone could help me out or advise where i could get it tested (pictures attached)
The coin with mount is 20mm diameter, ruling out it being a full sovereign, but am i right in thinking it could be a half? I can try get better pictures as i do have a dslr camera but didnt see the point if someone can tell if its a fake from the mobile pics. 
*Disclaimer: i will be keeping it regardless of whether its a fake or not. Just nice to know so it can go with my bullion collection.
Thanks in advance
Murphy

Bit the bullet on this yesterday courtesy of @BleyerBullion super swift service as always... 

Ive done this on 2 occasions, and it works a treat. Even got a call from them after the money had gone through which is very reassuring..

Resorted to eBay to purchase this lovely base metal Proof Crown as it was only made available to visitors to the Royal Mint Experience.

Latest additions to the world gold collection, one of my best lots ever 😍

Won this nice 1995 1/20th Panda in an Australian eBay auction. A bit of copper spotting but otherwise fine. Am very happy paying about 5% over spot delivered. 

A fabulous 1/10 gold Tiger from the Perth mint.  Thanks @CoinStruck  
When you see the P mint mark on a coin you know you are getting quality!  

Placed a little order with Tavex to see how it would go. All pretty straightforward, next day delivery and nicely packaged. 

Those 1g bars make excellent pocket/wallet pieces 😆

I have also bought from him through that facebook group, great seller.

I bought mine for £1 

I think you will find that they are cupronickel, sell for anything from £2 upwards. Obviously condition is important.

They look like commemorative crowns 

So here we are 736 of the finest maccaroni's. Congrats @Gordy with a guess of 737! There was a guess of the same number however as per rules wasnt counted. 
If you can send me your details ill be posting out first thing monday.

Ill do another in the future 😊
