A Penny Farthing was a 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. It was named for the disparate size of the two wheels, the Penny being very much larger than the Farthing.
A Penny Farthing was a 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. A Penny and a Farthing are both coins from the now redundant British predecimal currency system. The Penny Farthing bicycle was so named for the contrast of the size of the front and back wheels which were likened to a Penny and a Farthing.
A "Penny Farthing" is not a coin, it was a very popular 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. It was called a "Penny Farthing" because of the disparate size of the two wheels, which were likened to a "Penny" and a "Farthing". There were Penny coins and Farthing coins, with four Farthings (Fourthings) to the Penny. Make up your mind which coin you have and resubmit your question.
A farthing was 1/4 of a penny.
A 1944 farthing* in average condition sells for less than a dollar. (*) Note : A "penny farthing" is a type of bicycle. A farthing is 1/4 of a penny, so the terms do not go together (e.g. you would not say "a dime quarter")
To a numismatist, FAIR condition describes a coin that is so worn you can barely determine the type and date, so if it is really in this condition, it is worth nothing. If it is in a bit better condition, it still has no significant value and may even be found in a dealer's "junk box" for 25 cents.

The penny was considerably larger, as a farthing was worth 1/4 of a penny. Those old-timey bicycles with the giant front wheel were nicknamed "penny-farthings" because of the size difference in wheels.
