The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

Answer 3

The Royal Mint produced no copper coins from 1808 to 1820 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

You are asking about a Half Guinea coin (KM#608) from Great Britain. The coin weighs 4.175 grams and is 91.7% gold, giving it an AGW (Actual Gold Weight) of 0.1231 troy ounces and thus a "melt value" (as of April 14, 2011, with gold at US$1473.80 per troy ounce) of US $181.42.

The front of the coin bears an image of King George III facing right, with the words "GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA" (Latin for "George the Third, By the Grace of God"). The back has a crown atop a shield which is divided into four quarters, each quarter holding the symbol of England, France, Ireland and Scotland, with the date "1971" below and the words "M-B-F-ET-H-REX-F-D-B-ET-L-D-S-R-I-A-T-ET-E" (abbreviations for the Latin "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lueneburg, Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire") around the edge.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and example is worth US$150 in Fine condition, US$175 in Very Fine condition, US$475 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$600 in Uncirculated condition.

Note that the Guinea coin of 1791 is identical to the Half Guinea but for being bigger and containing twice as much gold.
