Default Need some help with this British token

Below is about all I could find on this 1807 British token.
It states in the year 1806 & 1807 only tokens were minted for this type.
Would anyone be able to quote me a value on this token?:


Quote:
In 1806 and 1807, another 150 tons of copper was coined into pennies at the Soho Mint, although this time the money was a token coinage with each penny only containing 18.9 grams of copper and being 34 millimetres in diameter. These were more conventionally-designed coins, with a right facing bust of the king and ordinary inscription GEORGIUS III D G REX date, and the obverse showing the seated Britannia facing left, with olive branch and trident and the inscription BRITANNIA. There is one unique penny coin known which is dated 1808, but this is thought to have been a proof.

Default your george 11 coin

hi gregory,i,ve looked through my uk coin books and wondered about the size of your coin.....(ive used a usa 1972 five cent coin to compare with...)if its about the same size then youve got a george 111 farthing worth between £2 and £70...if its a lot bigger, then it maybe a penny and theres no prices show it just says UNIQUE....I think you should seek expert advice on it .
all the best chris

Thanks Chris,
It is the size of our U.S Nickel.
It looks to be in excellent condition for being nearly 200 years old.

This token is from the undertaker's hoard and I will be selling it along with other interesting items from it.

hope this is of some help Greg, its from 2004 spinks coin book. i think that your coin is a very fine condition. so if its a farthing around 80 to 90 dollars and the same for a halfpenny! if its a penny worth about 20 to 30 dollars! nice coin by the way
