From your pictures, the coin appears to be this 1806 Great Britain Penny: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...ny-km-663-1806-1808-cuid-1165495-duid-1322240. Seeing your coin as being graded a VG8 (Very Good 8) at best, I think your penny to be worth than less $4.00. Old does not necessarily always mean valuable, condition is also a key factor.
Thanks MasterSamurai, i was told by a coin dealer it was worth up to £800 cause its original, but i have seen your link.
That price is for really splendid examples, like this: https://www.ebay.com/p/Great-Britain-Penny-1806/102055922.
You should have asked that coin dealer what he would pay for it, but it may have just been a conversation without seeing the coin itself.
He saw it and pointed before confirming the value as he was going through some of the collection, only one he really reacted to
If you can manage to sell it for what is the equivalent of $1054 (800 pounds), then I would say go for it! After browsing some more sites, I can confirm that the coin is worth roughly $4. Seems like an insane deal.
I will try my luck and see what happens you never know, guess it all depends on the grade of the coin.
That coin dealer won't be in business for long! £800?!? I've got some more low-grade "originals" like that I'd like to sell him! Not even my gilt proof is worth much more than £800 - if that - and it was at one time the finest one certified! (Now second best of a population of two, in all grades.) And this (which is also "original") cost me less than 800 dollars - never mind pounds. So what's that mean for your coin? Yeah, sorry, it isn't worth much, monetarily. But it is still a cool 211-year-old coin. I like finding them in bulk lots, even the well-worn pieces like yours, which did their time in commerce. Picture some sailor drinking in a pub during the Napoleonic Wars, slapping your coin onto the bar to pay for his grog as he bragged about how he served aboard HMS Victory under Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. Now think - for a similar modest sum, you can own the very same coin today, two centuries later. I think that's cool, regardless of a coin's condition or present-day collector value. My fancy presentation proof, on the other hand, would have spent its time locked away inside some nobleman's cabinet and never got spent on grog or cabbages or candles. They're from two different worlds... yet they're essentially the same coin. (Same basic type and date, anyway.)
************** You have some really nice coins, great condition maybe his opinion/valuation was an optimistic one i will have another dealer take a closer look as i have seen it much cheaper on ebay.
