    What condition would you say this coin is in? Sorry I’m a beginner and I’m only learning how to tell if something is in good condition or not?

    Your coin suffered a lot of damage. That makes it difficult to assess the grade. The damage also significantly reduces any numismatic value

    Cute but unfortunately it's been heavily damaged and that reduces the value. Not sure how rare this is but if it's common then face value.

    Glad that you're new to the hobby. Just ask your questions and stop apologizing. If you listen, you'll learn. If you keep repeating the same question on different coins you're not learning. If you argue you don't want to learn. :)

    Many collectors would consider your coin a space filler.
    Not really collectible but good enough until you get a better coin.

    The coin you have has a sharpness grade of Very Fine (VF) with respect to wear, but it has been bent which has resulted in mutilation. Collectors try to assign net grades to such coins, that get complicated and controversial. To me the net grade would in the About Good (AG) to Good (G) category.

    First of all, welcome to CT Katie. Your coin is a ½ Pingin, which is ½ penny=1/24 Shilling from Ireland. If it wasn't damaged, it would only be worth around 55¢, but with the damage, as others have already said, not worth collecting, but a neat conversational piece. Hang on to it and keep reading and looking. Good luck. If you have other foreign coins you can find values at numista.com and/or ngccoin.com
