Can anyone tell me about this coin? It obviously UK, but I can't even tell whether it is a penny or not?

I am selling a ton of things to make up for a "lost in the mail" situation with the USPS.

Just wondering if this would be worth auctioning.

I also think that it is a farthing. We'll need a measurement of the diameter in order to be sure.

This coin is about 7/8's of an inch. Just a hair bigger than a US Nickel.

Yep yep... no ruler required, it's a farthing; they're a bit stingy in here with details though, so mintage: 2,580,480; valued at 12 pounds in Fine in my book so a scarcer date - Victoria's Young Head (YH) portrait on obverse. Designs take up a lot of the space on both sides so you can easily tell it's a farthing.
