1911 London Mint Gold Half Sovereign - Minty - Guess the Serration Count

Typical weak striking for "bullion" / circulation half sovereigns, even from the London Mint.

There are clear signs of "ghosting" on both sides. This is where the design from the opposite side shows through to varying degrees.

As often, I am inviting guesses for the serration count. No prizes!

-104 because you have to count anti-clockwise on half sovereigns. It's the rule. 😁

I'll tell our photographer, but I'm sure he is right-handed.

Although he could shoot them from underneath!
