What is the value of a 1797 British Farthing?

Answer 1

The Royal Mint produced no Farthing coins from 1776 to 1798 inclusive.

It is possible that a few 1798 "pattern" Farthings, possibly 5 or less were struck, if so, they will all be in museums and possibly classified as extremely rare.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

Answer 2

A British 1868 bronze Farthing (Victoria), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £115 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £4 to £35 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
