Enjoy.

Hint #1: Read the digits aloud;
Hint #2: The sequence is important, it comes from a poem.


SOLUTION: RING
From The Lord of The Rings poem
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne"

The third hint would have been: "people fight over it", referring to the fighting ring.
