A farthing was 1/4 of a penny.
The last British Farthing was minted in 1956.
There is no such thing as an 1890 silver farthing, as there were no Victorian silver farthings ever made (the only silver farthings I'm aware of are those struck by hand in the 1100-1400s!). If you mean an 1890 farthing, they run about $1-2 in circulated condition and about $10 if in great shape. However, if your coin is silver looking, chances are it is plated and therefore considered to be damaged to coin collectors, putting your coin in the range of about $1-2 or so regardless of condition.
