Half a pence for my domain,
On a face I can be found,
Keep me and appear quite sane,
Green and growing on the ground,
Or in a basket with my friends,
A block of wood behind,
Where all of us had met our ends,
The verdict was unkind.
What am I?

I guess the answer is
Head
First lines
Half a pence for my domain,
On a face I can be found,
These refer to a coin, where a head appears on one face (half the coin), and strangely, the head being on a face (not the other way round) is a riddle too.
Next line
Keep me and appear quite sane,
You must keep your head, not lose it.
Next line
Green and growing on the ground,
A mass or carpet of flowers is a head.
The last four lines refer to the
French Revolution when non-citizens where beheaded.

Ah, the infamous French revolution where poor King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, along with many other aristocrats, had their heads separated from their bodies and dropped in a basket. And like their bodies, the heads of state were no more and the body - the bourgeoisie - existed independently of the monarchy, throwing it away in the wastebasket of history. Vive la revolution!

Nobody wants to lose their balls as they play. Alternatively, this could refer to 'sane' being 'good golfer' and they keep their balls within the area of the course that is only composed of growing grass, and perhaps even make it to the 'green'. They're not taking 'insane' shots into sand traps or the woods or water.
Or in a basket with my friends,
The golf balls are carried around in baskets together.
A block of wood behind,
Where all of us had met our ends,
A block can refer to an area, so perhaps these golf balls are lost in the woods?
The verdict was unkind.
The aforementioned golf balls were lost in the woods and were never found, or the golfer gained points on the hole from not meeting par requirements.

Are you:

Or in a basket with my friends

Something to do with plucked flowers slowly dying?

I'm going to blame my bad eyesight for the misspelling of 'it' as 'if' in the title... Thanks for pointing it out.

You actually got A LOT further from the answer here by the way. Some wicked stretchy logic though. Respect! +1

Are you:
A flower?
Green and growing on the ground
Flower's stems growing in the ground
Or in a basket with my friends
Or in a plant pot/hanging basket
A block of wood behind
Where all of us had met our ends
The verdict was unkind
Something to do with plucked flowers slowly dying?

I'm loving this riddle and I'm sorry but I might keep spamming answers with somewhat stretchy logic... we'll see if I get there eventually

@kanoo Then I insist you go back to your first answer and re-read it for inspiration. You almost had it, especially in the last 4 lines.
