I think what you have is a cast counterfeit halfpenny.

also, is the coin wet, did you take the picture right after cleaning?

No its not wet i soaked it in peroxide and raised it off and dried it

mmm, peroxide leaves a white-ish kindof resedue on my coins after sitting in the air for a bit, it outlines the details on mine making them clearer to see, if it does the same to yours let it sit for a few minutes and see if you can see anything clearer

It did the same thing to me so i rubbed a little mineral oil on the coins to high lite them

1750 farthing, he check the dimensions, matched the usuall fathing dimensions of the time

But.... what you're missing is that this style of Britainnia was ONLY used on the halfpenny. So if it is close to a farthing in size, it's just a very small - underweight counterfeit (looks cast) halfpenny.

its not counterfite, look at the head of the figure on your coin, it does not have its hair in a bun behind it like it would if it were a 1/2 penny

 

[jdsarasin8194]

if yours were "ment" to be a farthing, the figure would have here hair in a bun like the example in the first picture, yours however does not have the bun, like the other example
