    One Farthing, Missing the bottom of some letters. This is the only one I have, so nothing to compare to. Die error? Worn die? Not really sure, but I think it is in a
    XF grade all the same.Maybe VF+. Not to bad for 195 years. DSC05448.JPG DSC05449.JPG

    Cool coin, and excellent write-up. Uhh, how many grams is 8.4 grains ? It looks very thin so, 1/2 gram or so ? (Just a guess) have never seen one before.

    480 grains to an ounce. About 15 1/2 grains to a gram.
