    I was looking through an auction and this coin caught my eye for some reason.
    It was listed as a

    "1688 Great Britain James II farthing"

    though from what I've found I can't find a 1688 James II, I can only find up to 1687. The date looks like it might be 1699 instead, but that would make it a William III farthing.

    Again all this is just from what I can find online.

    Can someone help me out here on what I have? and ultimately what its worth?

    I found a picture that matches this, its actually a 1699 1/2 penny. Anyone know how this would be rated?

    I think it would probably be considered "Good" in the British grading system.
