<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJK78, post: 1216127, member: 19207&quot;]Wow that is a great story and an excellent find.&nbsp; My favorite movie is Goonies as well so I could feel your excitement just from reading your post!&nbsp; I really know nothing about your coin other then what is in the 2011 Redbook - here is what they say about it:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;William Pitt, the British politician who endeared himself to America, is the subject of these pieces, probably intended as commemorative medalets.&nbsp; The so-called halfpenny served as currency during a shortage of regular coinage.&nbsp; The reverse legend (THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE) refers to Pitt&#039;s efforts to have the Stamp Act repealed.&nbsp; The Pitt farthing-size tokens, struck in brass or copper, are rare.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The Redbook also lists the 1766 Farthing at a value of $4000 in G4 condition.&nbsp; There are many many different factors to consider regarding a value though, even though your coin is not gradeable and would probably grade a G2~, it could be worth more simply due to the rarity.&nbsp; After all there can&#039;t be that many out there!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing and welcome to Cointalk!!</p><p>J[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
