thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 11/23/2014 1:36 pm I have some where a 1773 British coin which I believe is a farthing, its extremely thin. The coin is the rough size of a farthing. My question is its off center about %15-20 percent and I was wondering if it was worth certification at pcgs and what its value would roughly be.
